Fig. 3 Expression of spi1 relative to gata1 in the lateral plate mesoderm. Two-color in situ hybridization gene expression analysis of wild-type zebrafish embryo (12 somite, flat mount, rostral up). (A)Alow-power view spanning the entire lateral plate mesoderm (LPM). (B, C) High-magnification views (63x water immersion lens) of regions boxed in (A), in which the expression of spi1 has been detected by fluorescence of Fast Red using a RITC filter set. (B) spi1+gata1- cells in the rostral LPM. Arrowheads indicate the caudal margin of the eye. (C) spi1+gata1+ cells in the caudal LPM. Arrowhead indicates an indentation to the otherwise uniform LPMgata1+ domain, due to several cells that express neither gata1 nor spi1. Arrow indicates a lateral irregularity in the LPM gata1 domain, due to several cells that express both gata1 and spi1. Scale bar in (B), 30 μm.
