Figure 8. Lack of co-localization of mural cell and the ectomesenchymal neural crest marker Fli1a.

Figure 8

Confocal images of 4 and 7(acta2:mCherry) and nuclear neural crest marker (fli1a:nEGFPy7) using ventrally staged embryos. (A) Mural cell and neural crest markers are expressed along the ventral aorta (A’) and aortic arch artery region (A”) of the 4 dpf embryo. (B) Mural cell and neural crest markers are expressed along the ventral aorta (B’) and aortic arch region (B”) at 7 dpf. There appears to be little to no co-localization of fluorescent markers at both 4 and 7 dpf. Scale bar in A represents 100 µm. Insets (A’, A”, B’, B”) are 100 µm in length. VA =  Ventral Aorta, AAA =  Aortic Arch Arteries. Arrowheads depict cells that no do not co-localize.
