Fig. 5. Ectopic glial cells promote precocious axogenesis. (A,B) Camera lucida
drawing of nota stained with 22C10 antibodies at different times of
development. In each case, the entire region between the two dorsocentral
macrochaetes is depicted. (A) Wild-type nota. At 24 hours APF, only axons from
macrochaetes were present. Axogenesis of microchaetes starts at around 25
hours APF. (B) Nota from neuP72 UAS-H2B::YFP UAS-p35.
Microchaete axogenesis initiates at about 23:30 hours APF. Note that in nota
older than 27 hours APF, no major difference regarding the orientation of
axonal processes could be discerned. (C) H99-deficient clone stained with
22C10 antibody (shown in green on the bottom overlay image). The clone was
detected because of its lack of GFP staining (shown in red on the bottom
overlay image), its medial limit is shown with a white line. Each channel is
shown individually (22C10 top left and GFP top right). The midline is
associated with a dotted 22C10 immunoreactivity of unknown nature. Note that
axon projections are more developed in sensory organs inside the clone
(arrowheads) than the counterpart axons in the contra-lateral region (H99
heterozygous). Limits of clones are indicated with a white line. Anterior is
upwards and the view is horizontal.
