etv2 functions cell autonomously in neutropoiesis. Donor mpx:GFP embryos were injected with either TRITC-dextran tracer or TRITC-dextran and etv2 DNA, and the cells were transplanted at the sphere stage (4 hpf) into mpx:GFP recipient embryos. (A–C) Wild type cells transplanted into a wild type host do not induce mpx expression. (A) mpx:GFP, (B) TRITC and (C) merged fluorescence in the recipient embryos at 26 hpf stage. (D–F) A subset of etv2-overexpressing cells transplanted into a wild type host induce mpx expression autonomously. (D) mpx:GFP, (E) TRITC and (F) merged fluorescence in the recipient embryos at 26 hpf stage. White arrowheads point to overlapping cells, indicating that they are derived from the donor etv2-overexpressing embryos.
