Neuromuscular junction analysis. (A) 11-dpf WT larva stained with α-bungarotoxin conjugated with Alexa Fluor 488. (B) 11-dpf WT larva stained with SV2 (from Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank, University of Iowa, IA, USA) and Alexa Fluor 594. (C) 11-dpf homozygous T70I larva stained with α-bungarotoxin conjugated with Alexa Fluor 488. (D) 11-dpf homozygous T70I larva stained with SV2 and Alexa Fluor 594. Images have been background corrected. (E) Colocalisation analysis was completed using the WCIF suite of plug-ins for ImageJ. Colocalisation r-values from the interseptal regions of WT, T70I heterozygous (Het) and T70I homozygous (Hom) 11-dpf larvae from a heterozygous incross. Statistical significance of difference between means was determined by one-way ANOVA and Dunn’s multiple comparison test (n=30). *P<0.05; ***P<0.001. |
