Table 1. Quantification of GFP immuno-positive zebrafish embryos after reporter constructs injection at one-cell stage.
CONSTRUCT | GFP+ [nt/fp] (% of total/of GFP+) | GFP-positive [ectopic] (% of total/of GFP+) | GFP-positive [nt/fp & ectopic] | GFP-negative (including malformed embryos) | total number of injected embryos (n) |
0.8Shh:GFP:LfHhb-I2 | 51 (10.1/32.9%) | 104 (20.6/67.1%) | 155 (30.6/−%) | 350 (69.3%) | 505 |
0.8Shh:GFP:LfHhb-C1 | 7 (3.7/15.6%) | 38 (20.3/84.4%) | 45 (24.0/−%) | 142 (75.9%) | 187 |
0.8Shh:GFP* (*negative control) | 0 (0/0%) | 10 (100/8.1%) | 10 (8.1/−%) | 123 (92.5%) | 133 |
24–26hpf embryos injected with the indicated DNA construct were scored. nt:notochord; fp:floor plate.
