Fig. 6 (A) Whole body fluorescent image of a sCMV:dsRed fish (line 2-1) at 5 months showing expression in the skeletal muscle and high-intensity fluorescence in areas proximal to fins such as pectoral fin muscles indicated by an arrow. (B and C) Like (A), for lines sCMV:EGFP-1 and 2, respectively. (D) Cross-section of the adult sCMV:dsRed 2-1 fish trunk revealing lower transgene expression in general trunk muscle (green arrows) and a much higher level of expression in appendicular muscle such as muscles for dorsal (upper white arrow) and anal fins (lower white arrow). (E and F) Higher magnification of expression in muscles driving the dorsal and anal fins, respectively. (G and H) Brightfield and fluorescent images (respectively) of explanted eyes and brain viewed from the ventral side showing dsRed-positive appendicular muscle controlling eye movement. Scale bars = 1 mm except E/F = 0.5 mm.
