Fig. 3 The spatial expression pattern of slurp-like1 during early development. (A) 1-cell stage. (B) Dome stage. (C) Shield stage. (D) Bud stage. (E) 5-somite stage. (F) 10-somite stage. (G) 15-somite stage. (H) 20-somite stage. (I, J) 24 hpf stage. (K) 48 hpf stage. (L, M) 72 hpf stage. All pictures except for (J: transverse section) and (M: dorsal view) show the lateral view. (D–K) Anterior to the left, dorsal up. slurp-like1 expression was broadly expressed at the 1-cell, dome, shield and bud stages, while the slurp-like1 gene was detected in the yolk at the 5-somite, 10-somite, 15-somite and 20-somite stages. At 24 hpf (I, J), slurp-like1 is expressed in the floor plate (arrow) of the neural tube (dotted line) and in the hypochord (arrowhead) of the notochord (asterisk). At 48 hpf (K) and 72 hpf (L, M), slurp-like1 is expressed in the liver (red arrowhead) and intestinal bulb (blue arrowhead). Scale bars, 100 μm for A-K, L and M and 50 μm for J.
