Oxytocinergic Reporter Transgene Tags HN Projections

(A and B) 3D reconstruction of the hypothalamic-neurohypophseal system of an optically sectioned 9-day-old zebrafish embryo carrying the oxtl:EGFP transgene (anterior to the left; A, lateral view; B, ventral view). Axonal projections to the neurohypophysis (NH) are highly visible in oxtl:EGFP transgenic animals due to extensive arborization of NH nerve termini.

(C and D) Immunohistochemical analysis of Oxytocin protein in oxtl:EGFP transgenic zebrafish showing colocalization of EGFP+ and Oxytocin+ nerve termini in the neurohypophysis of either 6-day-old larva (C, anterior up) or coronally sectioned adult (D); 14-day-old).

Scale bars, 20 μm. See also Figure S1 and Movie S1.
