Mutation of col11a2 does not alter muscle fibre number or diameter at 5dpf. A) smyhc:gfp;col2a1:mCherry transgenic line shows slow myosin in muscle (green) and Type II collagen (red) in wt and col11a2-/- zebrafish at 5dpf. B) Quantification of muscle fibre number in four muscles in the jaw in wt and col11a2-/- zebrafish (n = 5 and 8 respectively). C) Quantification of muscle diameter in two muscles in the lower jaw, observed through birefringence in wt and col11a2-/- zebrafish at 5dpf (n=3 for all). Locations of muscles are labelled and shown in (A) (IP = Intermandibularis posterior, IH = interhyoideus, AM = adductor mandibulae, HH = hyohyoideus). Student's unpaired t-tests were performed in B and C, data is mean with SEM. Scale bar = 100 µm. n.s = P>0.05
