Monitoring the kinetics of fucoside biosynthesis
in zebrafish embryos.
Zebrafish embryos were microinjected with GDP-FucAl at the one-cell
stage. At (A) 2-, (B) 4-, (C) 8-cell stages, and (D) 2 hpf of ZM2
treated embryos, embryos were fixed and reacted with Alexa Fluor 488
azide 8, and imaged using confocal microscopy. First
row, side views of live embryos at time points equivalent to 2-, 4-,
and 8-cell stages and 2 hpf of ZM2 treated embryos. Rows 2–4:
animal pole views of fixed embryos labeled with 488. Nuclei were stained
with Hoechst 33342.
