qPCR shows that TIE:EGFP+ macrophages express higher levels of melanocyte markers mitfa and sox10 (compared to TIE:EGFP- macrophages), validating that macrophages preferentially phagocytose TGFb responsive melanoma cells.

Two Tg(mitfa:BRAFV600E);p53-/-;mitfa-/-;MCR:MCS tumors expressing TIE:EGFP and mpeg:mCherry were dissected and TIE:EGFP+;mpeg:mCherry+ macrophages and TIE:EGFP-;mpeg:mCherry+ macrophages were isolated by FACS. RNA was extracted, reverse transcribed, and qPCR was performed. Graphed here are individual replicate values and their mean, and error bars represent standard deviation. Two-tailed unpaired t-test was used to calculate significance. n=2 fish with three technical replicates.
