Microinjection of lmo2 1&2 morpholino (MO) in Tg(fli1:EGFP, gata1a: dsRed) zebrafish embryos. A-H - Morpholino (MO) mediated Lmo2 knockdown induces blood cells and blood vessel defects in 2 dpf Tg(fli1:EGFP, gata1a: dsRed) zebrafish embryos. A?D - non-injected control (NIC) and E ? H 1.75 ng lmo2 1&2 MO injected zebrafish embryos. A?C, E ? G Apotome microscope images (GFP/RFP merged) of lmo2 1&2 MO injected Tg(fli1:EGFP, gata1a: dsRed) embryos at 2 dpf (Lateral View). A?C - non-injected control embryos and E ? G ?lmo2 1&2 MO injected embryos. D, H - Embryos stained with o-dianisidine. The embryos were imaged at 10× magnification (A?C, E?G) and 2.5× magnification (D, H). Arrowheads indicate the site of defects.
