Fig. 5. Impaired photoreceptor/projection neurons ratio in embryos deficient for
Delta genes. (A-B') Confocal sections from wild-type
(A-A') and deltaA-/-, deltaD-morphant
epiphysis (B-B') showing GFP from Tg(HuC:GFP) (green), FRet43 (red) and
Islet1 (purple) at 48 hours of development. (C-G)Average number of
Islet1+ (C), HuC/D+ (D), Tg(HuC:GFP)+ (E), FRet43+ (F) and Tg(AANAT2:GFP)+
cells (G) in 48 hours embryos depleted for the function of deltaA
and/or deltaD. Anterior is upwards. Scale bar: 16 µm. Error bars
represent the standard deviation ***P<0.0005 using a
t-test.
