Fig. 2. Neural crest cell migration is initially normal but later disrupted in
erbb3b mutants. (A-H) Whole-mount labeling using
crestin (A,B,E-H) or sox10 (C,D) riboprobes of wild-type
embryos (A,C,E,G) and erbb3b mutants (B,D,F,H). At 24 hpf, both
probes show that NC cell migration appears normal in erbb3b mutants
(B,D) and in wild type (A,C). At 27 (E,F) and 30 (G,H) hpf, NC cells form
segmental streams ventral of the notochord in wild type (E,G). By contrast, in
erbb3b mutants (F,H) there are no streams at these stages, and NC
cell migration is disrupted. Broken lines represent dorsal aspect of the
notochord. Lateral views, anterior towards the left. Scale bar: 20 µm.
