tangohkz5 mutation causes an increased apoptosis and a decreased proliferation of HSPCs. (A-F) Double immunostaining of CD41-eGFP and TUNEL reveals a slight increase of apoptosis of CD41-eGFP+ cells in the CHT of 3 dpf tangohkz5/hkz5 mutant zebrafish embryos. Arrows show the CD41-eGFP+ and TUNEL+ cells. (G-L) Double immunostaining of CD41-eGFP and BrdU shows a reduced proliferation of CD41-eGFP+ cells in the CHT of 3 dpf tangohkz5/hkz5 mutant embryos. (M) Quantification of the percentage of TUNEL+ cells in the 3 dpf CD41-eGFP+ cell populations. (N) Quantification of the percentage of BrdU+ cells in the 3 dpf CD41-eGFP+ population. Error bars represent s.e.m.
