Phenotypic analysis after treatment with SU5402 | |||
---|---|---|---|
Treatment (No. of Embryos) | Untreated (n = 22) | DMSO (n = 34) | SU5402 (n = 35) |
Anterior defect | 0 (0%) | 1 (3%) | 1 (3%) |
Middle–ventral region edema | 0 (0%) | 0 (0%) | 4 (11%) |
Pericardial edema | 0 (0%) | 0 (0%) | 12 (34%) |
Unlooped heart | 0 (0%) | 0 (0%) | 33 (94%) |
Embryos were scored for gross morphology in three separate experiments. As shown, SU5402 induced edema and cardiac looping defects. Several embryos exhibited both edema and an unlooped heart, therefore the totals do not add up to 100%.
