Table I. Trunk, but not vagal, neural crest cells avoid Slit2-expressing cells.
In vivo | In vitro | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
Control | Slit2 | Control | Slit2 | |

Trunk | 1/10 | 12/15 | 2/12 | 18/20 |
Vagal | 0/6 | 1/8 | 0/6 | 0/6 |

Vagal | 0/6 | 0/6 |
Numbers correspond to individual embryos (in vivo) or neural tubes with migrating neural crest (in vitro) that showed avoidance when encountering either the control or Slit2-expressing cells.
