Shared Multipotent Progenitors for Pigment Cells and Neural Cells (A-A5) Example of a clone with labeled neurons and pigment cells in the trunk skin, scales, and dorsum. Dashed curves in (A) show scale pigmentation. Dashed squares in (A2) show regions enlarged in (A3)-(A5). Scale bar, 500 µm. (B) Quantification of the clonal association between pigment cells and neural cells. (C and D) A clone in the skin of 20-dpf zebrafish with DRG (asterisk) and neurons. Scale bar, 100 µm. (E) Xanthophores, iridophores, and melanophores appear in this clone at 25 dpf. Asterisk indicates the DRG. Scale bar, 100 µm. N, neuron; M, melanophore; I, iridophore; X, xanthophore. |
