Fig. 4 Morpholino Knockdown of Candidate Genes in Zebrafish Results in Profound Anemia
WT zebrafish embryos were injected at the one-cell stage with the respective morpholinos and stained at 48 hpf with o-dianisidine to detect hemoglobinized cells.
(A) Uninjected (WT) embryos show normal hemoglobinization as indicated by dark brown staining on the yolk sac (arrow).
(B–G) Morpholino-injected embryos. Accurate morpholino gene targeting was verified by RT-PCR (slc25a39, slc22a4, slc22a5, tmem14c, and c1orf69) or real-time quantitative RT-PCR (isca1) on cDNA from uninjected (WT) or morpholino-injected (mo) embryos. β-actin (actb) was used as a control for off-target effects in the RT-PCR. For RT-PCR, (ctrl) indicates no cDNA template control. For real-time quantitative RT-PCR, (ctrl mo) indicates embryos injected with a standard control morpholino.
