Fig. 3 Loss of integrin αv, integrin β8 or combinatorial knockdown of both genes results in hemorrhage. As compared to uninjected controls in (A), 12 ng of itgave3i3 MO (B), or 4 ng of itgb8e2i2 MO (C), leads to head hemorrhages at 50–52 hpf. (D–F) Suboptimal morpholino doses (3 ng of itgave3i3 MO (D) or 1 ng of itgb8e2i2 (E)) results in small hemorrhages while double knockdown of both genes using these low doses results in numerous, larger hemorrhages (F, arrows). (G) Graphical representation of hemorrhage rate as a function of the dose of morpholino injected. Percentage of embryos with hemorrhages is shown above the bars. # represents the numbers of embryos scored for each analysis.
