Effect of socs3b ablation on primitive hematopoiesis. Representative images of wildtype (WT, socs3bwt/wt) and knockout (KO, socs3bmdu24/mdu24) embryos subjected to WISH using spi1b(A, B), lyz(D, E), lcp1(G, H), mpeg1.1(J, K), mpx(M, N) and csf3r(P, Q) at 22 hpf, showing the major areas of staining in each case, with scale bars representing 200 μm. Quantitation of spi1b+(C), lyz+(F), lcp1+(I), mpeg1.1+(L), mpx+(O) and csf3r+(R) cells showing numbers in individual embryos along with mean and standard error of the mean (SEM), with statistical significance indicated. Student t-tests were used to measure the significance between WT and KO samples with Welch’s correction performed if required (*** p < 0.001).
