Analysis of trunk sensory neurons in desb420 mutants. Dorsal view (anterior to the left) of a 20-h wild-type (A) and mutant (B) embryo showing islet2 expressing RB neurons. Arrowheads denote the absence of RB neurons in the spinal cord of desb420 mutants. All three des alleles examined had a similar decrease in RB cells (b420 = 2.5 ± 0.2, b638 = 2.6 ± 0.2, and tp37 = 2.3 ± 0.1 compared to wild type = 3.1 ± 0.2). Lateral view of 72-h wild-type (C) and mutant (D) embryo showing Hu-expressing DRG neurons (arrowheads). (E) islet2-expressing RB neurons and Hu-expressing DRG neurons were counted in hemisegments 5–9; n = 10 embryos for RB counts and n = 6 embryos for DRG counts. See Fig. 7 legend for details regarding statistics. Scale bar, 20 μm. |
