DN-CLIM but not N-SSDP1 over-expression induces patterning defects specifically in the hindbrain. A: Dorsal views of the hindbrain (rostral is up) of 24 hpf embryos immuno-labeled with the 3A10 antibody are shown. Development of Mauthner neurons (arrows) and crossing of their axons at the brain midline (arrowhead) is not affected by N-SSDP1 over-expression. In contrast, DN-CLIM over-expression leads to complete or partial loss of Mauthner neurons. Note that in those cases in which only one Mauthner neuron is present its axonal trajectory is not altered (ov = otic vesicle). B: Lateral views of the spinal cord show that 3A10 immuno-labeled CoPA neurons (arrowheads) and their commissural axons (arrows) are not affected by N-SSDP1 or DN-CLIM over-expression. Scale bars = 50 μm. |
