Fig. 5. Cells with disruptedaqp3black a continuous fibrillar FN matrix across the face of the ectoderm. Confocal image stacks of hemisected embryos were rotated to show the surface of ectoderm cells (B-E, G-J). Control MO1-injected embryos (A-E) showed an extensive fibrillar FN matrix across the face of the ectoderm in Brachet's cleft (B, C) and along the BCR (D, E). aqp3b MO1-injected embryos (F-J) were nearly devoid of fibrillar FN matrix across the face of the ectoderm in Brachet's cleft (G, H), but did possess FN matrix lining the face of the BCR (I, J). The boxes in (A) and (F) indicate the areas that were used for the rotated projections (dashed box = BCR: B, C, G, H, and solid box = Brachet's cleft: D, E, I, J). The green channel was removed in (C, E, H, J). The dotted lines delineate the floor of the blastocoel. Scale bars: (A, F) 100 um; (B-E, G-J) 10 um. Image published in: Forecki J et al.
