Cells of somite origin transform into hematopoietic cells, endothelial cells or pericytes. Tg(foxc1b:EOS;fli1a:gfp) double transgenic embryos were used. (A) Four pairs of somites in the middle trunk of an embryo at 15s stage were irradiated by laser and imaged immediately by confocal microscopy (lateral view). (B) The trunk ventral region of the photoactivated embryo was observed by confocal microscopy at 28s stage. The embryo was orientated with anterior to the left. The red-EOS+;GFP+ blood cells and endothelial cells were indicated by white and yellow arrowheads respectively, and a red-EOS+ cell of unknown identity was indicated by a blue arrowhead. |
