Fig. 2. add mutation behaves in a cell-autonomous manner. (A)
Transplantation of wild-type cells into wild-type retinas. Wild-type donor
cells (green) are BrdU-negative and differentiate into retinal neurons, which
form retinal columns. (B) Transplantation of add mutant cells into
wild-type retinas. add donor mutant cells (green) fail to form
retinal columns and continue to incorporate BrdU (red in broken white circle)
in the wild-type recipient retina. (C) Transplantation of wild-type cells into
wild-type retinas. Wild-type donor cells (green) differentiate into double
cone-type of photoreceptors, which are labeled with zpr1 antibody (red). (D)
Transplantation of wild-type cells into add mutant retinas. Wild-type
donor cells (green) express the photoreceptor marker, zpr1 (red in white
dotted circle) in the add-recipient retina.
