Radial distribution of cells labeled by in
situ hybridization. Cells were labeled by in
situ hybridization with fZOR6 (——), fZOR9
(···), fZOR8 (— · —), and fZOR5 (---). Their
radial distances were determined within each section and normalized as
described. The relative radii were summed for three to seven nasal
epithelia per receptor, corresponding to 600–900 labeled cells, and
the resulting data are presented with a bin size of 0.05. Data shown
are all obtained from fish of genotype Ab/Tü. The annular
expression seen here (a distinct maximum of labeled cells at a
particular radial position) was also observed with fish from
heterogenous genetic background.
