Rescue of rbc3a-MO1-injected embryos with full-length rbc3a mRNA. (A-C) Fluorescent images of live sox10:gfp transgenics, dorsal views, anterior to the left: (A) wild-type (WT), (B) rbc3a-MO1 injected, and (C) co-injected with full length rbc3a mRNA. (D) Number of GFP+ cells aggregated at the dorsal midilne at 24 hpf and located between the otic vesicle and MHB along the A-P axis. Injection of 100 pg rbc3a mRNA significantly rescued the number of GFP+ cells from 27.4±2.7 in rbc3a-MO1-injected embryos (n = 8) to 10.8±3.0 cells in mRNA+MO injected embryos (p<0.001, n = 8). Injection of 100 pg mRNA alone (n = 8) had no effect on the number of midline GFP+ cells compared to 2.3±1.7 in wild-type embryos (n = 9). Error bars represent ± SEM. Scale bar, 100 µm.
