Nectin-1 expression in cryosections of the eyes of zebrafish, mouse, and human. The tissues were from 120 hpf (A-F) and 20-day-old zebrafish (H, I, S, T), adult mouse (K-P, R), and human (Q). The labelled boxes in the drawings of a 20-day-old zebrafish (G) and adult mouse (J) eyes show the positions from which the tissues in the similarly labelled panels were taken. Enlarged areas of the transverse sections in A and C are shown in C-F. Comparable sections of retinas from human (Q), adult mouse (R), and zebrafish (S = H and T = I) are arranged side by side at the bottom. In situ hybridisations are as follows: nectin-1a in A, C, D, H, K, M, O, and S; nectin-1b in B, E, F, I, and T; mouse nectin-1 antisense probe in K, M, O, Q, and R; and mouse nectin-1 sense probe in L, N, and P. cmz, marginal zone; gcl, ganglion cell layer; inl, inner nuclear layer; ipl, inner plexiform layer; l, lens; onl, outer nuclear layer; os, photoreceptors. Scale bars = 50 μm.
