Figure 7. Enhanced green fluorescent
protein and proliferating cell nuclear antigen expression in Tg(1016α1tubulin:EGFP)
and Tg(ccnb1:EGFP)nt18 72 hpf larva head
sections. Enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP; C, F),
proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA; B, E), and merged
expression patterns (A, D) are shown in 72 hpf larval head
sections. In the Tg(1016α1tubulin:EGFP) zebrafish, EGFP was
predominantly expressed throughout the retina, while PCNA was expressed
in the retinal margin, mandibular tissue, the dorsal epithelium, and
tectum (A-C). In the Tg(ccnb1:EGFP)nt18
zebrafish, EGFP was restricted to the retinal margins similar to PCNA,
but EGFP was also expressed in other head tissues that coexpressed PCNA
(D-F).
