Fig. 6. Levels of apoptosis in retinas of tadpoles carrying
Xrx1A-
FGFR4a transgene. (A,C) Cross-section of
TUNEL-stained eyes of wild-type embryos at stage 29 (A) and stage 35 (C).
(B,D) Cross-section of TUNEL-stained eyes of embryos carrying the
Xrx1A-
FGFR4a transgene at stage 29 (B) and stage 35
(D). (E) Histogram showing the average number of labeled apoptotic cells on
each retina of the wild-type (car-GFP transgenic) and transgenic
(car-GFP/Xrx1A-
FGFR4a transgenic) embryos at each
stage. Wild type (stage 29, n=16 retinas; stage 35, n=20
retinas); transgenic (stage 29, n=28 retinas; stage 35, n=24
retinas).
