Table III. Slit2 enhances migration of trunk, not vagal, neural crest cells.

Control Slit2
μm μm
Trunk 133 ± 3.8 161 ± 4.2 21%a
Vagal 132 ± 7 125 ± 6 −6%

Neural tubes were cultured overnight on fibronectin. Values correspond to the average distance traveled by the neural crest cells away from the neural tube explant ± SEM. For trunk, there were a total of >100 neural tubes per condition in 12 separate experiments. For vagal, there were 12 neural tubes per condition in three separate experiments.
