Behaviour of iridophores and melanophores during pattern regeneration after ErbB inhibition.

(a–g) Confocal images of Tg(sox10:mRFP) animal developing with a gap (indicated by number 1–4) in the stripe pattern. Existing iridophores (yellow arrowheads) extend laterally into the prospective light stripe region that is devoid of iridophores and fill the region. New melanophores appear near the margins of the gap and locally restore the pattern. Occasionally, melanophores display short-scale movement (yellow arrows). Blue arrows: melanophores situated along the horizontal myoseptum that move dorsally to join dark stripes on regeneration of the light stripe by iridophores. Iridophores—red (Tg(sox10:mRFP). SL, standard length of fish. Scale bars,100 μm.
