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.
