Figure 6.

Tenascin-C, fibronectin, and collagen I co-localize with the fibrillin-2 fibrils of the developing vitreous. Cryosections of chick embryo eyes at E9 were co-immunolabeled for fibrillin-2 (E to G, green) with either tenascin-C (B, E), fibronectin (C, F), or collagen I (D, G). Nuclei were labeled with DAPI (blue); 40× confocal z-stacks, each image representing a single optical slice of 0.33 µm, were acquired in the center of the vitreous, as indicated in the diagram (A). Mag. bars = 20 µm. (A color version of this figure is available in the online journal.)
