Microglial Precursors Enter the Optic Tectum via Non-circulation route, related to Figure 2
(A) Dorsal view of the optic tectum of Tg(mpeg1:loxP-DsRedx-loxP-GFP) zebrafish embryos injected with or without the tnnt2a morpholno. The number of the optic tectum-resident microglia only slightly decreased in the 3 dpf tnnt2a morphants (MO) but is drastically reduced in the 6 dpf tnnt2a morphants. The optic tectum is indicated by dashed lines.
(B) Quantification of the optic tectum-resident microglia number in WT embryos and tnnt2a morphants. Error bars represent mean SEM. **: p<0.01. ***: p<0.001. (n=8 for both WT and morphants at 3 dpf and 6 dpf)
