Figure Caption

Fig. 8 Independent developmental relationship between blood vessels, sensory axons, and the epidermis in a zebrafish caudal fin. (A) A wild-type (WT) fin stained with the Zn8 monoclonal antibody showing the sensory neuronal pattern in the fin. A single axon was found to extend along each fin ray (arrows). (B) In the prp mutant, the sensory axons maintained their ray pattern (arrows) and did not seem to be associated with the vascular plexus pattern. (C) A WT young fin stained with Zn8 and photographed with the focus on the epidermis showing that the epidermis formed a nice fin ray pattern (arrows). (D) A prp young fin showing that the epidermal pattern appeared relatively normal (arrows).
