RGC Axon Projections Require Slit/Robo Signaling, Related to Figure 2(A?C) Projections of 6 dpf Pou4f3:mGFP WT (A), astti272z (B), and hsp70l:Slit2-GFP fish (C). Heat shock was applied at 76 hpf.(D?F) Optical sections of tectum of 5 dpf Pou4f3:mGFP fish. Arrows point at RGC axons aberrantly crossing midline. Pou4f3:mGFP-labeled RGC axons occupy about 60% of the depth of the tectal neuropil (D). In both astti272z mutant (E) and slit1a MO (F), Pou4f3:mGFP-labeled RGC axons are more dispersed in the tectal neuropil. Yellow lines in D to F indicate the depth of the tectal neuropil. Green lines in D to F indicate the depth of Pou4f3:mGFP expressing RGC axons.
