Immunofluorescence staining of CD in microvilli of RPE cells in zebrafish following cathepsin D knock-down and rescue.

Immunofluorescence staining of CD and α-actin in eye sections derived from 4 dpf micro-injected larvae (CTRL = control injections; S-MPO = splicing morpholino; T-MPO = translation morpholino; RESCUED = translation morpholino plus 200 pg/egg of mutant CD mRNA). Nuclei are stained with DAPI (blue). As negative control, CTRL larvae sections have been incubated only with secondary antibodies (neg). Note the intense staining for CD in the RPE layer (identifiable by the actin-positive microvilli) in CTRL, S-MPO and RESCUED zebrafish. This experiment confirms the efficient KD of CD by T-MPO in agreement with western blotting data. These images are representative of three independent experiments. Scale bar is 10 μm.
