Transient fli1:etv2-2A-mCherry expression in the vasculature does not affect the number of vascular endothelial cells. (A-C) Confocal images of trunk vasculature of a fli1:GFP embryo injected with a fli1:etv2-2A-mCherry construct at 24 hpf. Note that mCherry is expressed in a mosaic fashion within the vasculature. (D-F) Confocal images of trunk axial vasculature in a control uninjected fli1:nGFP embryo (D) and a fli1:etv2-2A-mCherry injected embryo (E,F) at 24 hpf. (G) Quantification of vascular endothelial cell number in uninjected fli1:nGFP embryos (n=6) and fli1:nGFP embryos injected with fli1:etv2-2A-mCherry construct (n=8) at 24 hpf. No significant difference in endothelial cell number was observed between control and injected embryos. The cells were quantified in the axial vasculature in a two somite region using lmaris software.
