Fig. 4. Multiple lineages arise from the lateral marginal zone. Although we did not
score non-cardiac lineages thoroughly, we noted the origins of some frequently
detected cell types. (A,C,E,G) Lateral views at 44 hpf, anterior towards the
left, showing examples of labeled cells (arrows). (B,D,F,H) Fate maps
indicating experiments in which labeled blastomeres gave rise to head vessels,
circulating blood cells in cranial locations, pharyngeal pouches or pectoral
fin mesenchyme. Progenitors for head endothelium (A,B) and presumed myeloid
cells (C,D) are found 45-100° from dorsal in tiers 1 and 2. Progenitors
for pharyngeal pouches (E,F) and pectoral fin mesenchyme (G,H) are found
50-150° from dorsal in tiers 1-4.
