Extended Data Figure 1. 5HT immunoreactive cells in the gut, and DiI labelling.
a–b, 5-HT immunoreactivity in embryonic day (E) 25 (a) and E30 (b) embryos. Serotonergic neurons (yellow arrowheads) are positioned within the typhlosole, near the endodermal mucosa. A cell present in the columnar epithelium (white arrowhead) might represent an endocrine (enterochromaffin) cell. Cells positioned dorsal to the typhlosole might be neuroblasts (white arrow). c, DiI labeling results in labeled cells (yellow arrowhead) originating from the neural tube, migrating to the gut and typhlosole. Red:DiI; Cyan:5HT; Blue:DAPI; Green:Acet. Tubulin. d, Serotonergic (Green: 5-HT; Red: Acet. Tubulin) neurons in a T30 embryo, and e, Acetylated Tubulin staining alone shows the position of the vagus nerve.
