Figure 2. Hematopoietic Development in the Zebrafish.

Figure 2

(A) Hematopoiesis occurs first in the intermediate cell mass (ICM) and subsequently in the aorta-go-nad mesonephros (AGM) region and caudal hematopoietic tissue (CHT). Later hematopoietic cells are found in the kidney as well as in the thymus. In situ hybridization for GATA-1 at 30 hr (ICM), for c-myb at 36 hr (AGM), for SCL/tal1 at days 4 and 6.5 (CHT), and for c-myb at day 6 (top view) to demonstrate expression in the kidney marrow and thymus.
