Fig. 1 Induction of apoptosis by γ irradiation is suppressed in tp53 mutant embryos. Embryos were γ irradiated at 24 hpf (16 Gray) and fixed at 30 hpf for TUNEL assay. After the assay of multiple embryos resulting from the intercross of tp53^M214K mutant heterozygous parents, the embryos were genotyped for their tp53 status. Embryos shown are representative of homozygous wild-type (tp53^+/+), heterozygous (tp53^+/M214K), and homozygous mutant (tp53^M214K/M214K) genotypes. White arrows indicate widespread apoptosis in the brain and spinal cord. Embryos were raised at 28°C. All embryos are shown in lateral view with the head to the left.
