Fig. 7. Angioblast migration in endodermless embryos. Transverse sections of
endodermless embryos Tg(flk1:EGFP)s843;cas mutants
visualized for GFP (green), fibronectin (blue), and ß-catenin (red). The
GFP (green) and fibronectin (blue) signals of the outlined areas are shown
separately (A-E). The sections shown are at the level of the 6th (A,B), 10th
(C), 14th (D) and 18th (E) somites. White arrow in A shows a cluster of
angioblasts exiting the LPM. Despite the absence of endoderm, angioblasts
migrate to the midline. NT, neural tube; NC, notochord; DA, dorsal aorta; PCV,
posterior cardinal vein.
