Lens cell marker expression in 7 dpf foxe3 morphants. Frozen sections from control (panels A and B) and morpholino-injected (panels C and D) embryos were immunolabeled for αA-crystallin and the zl-1 antigen at 7 dpf. In the controls, high levels of these proteins are detected in the peripheral lens cells (panels A and B, arrows). In the morphant lens, a subpopulation of cells express these proteins in an aberrant pattern (panels C and D, arrows). The asterisks in panels C and D mark the nucleated lens cell population. The scale bar (50 μm) in panel A applies to all panels. Abbreviations: PL, photoreceptor layer; INL, inner nuclear layer and GCL, ganglion cell layer. |
