Abstract
Angiogenesis leads to the formation of the intersegmental vessels (ISVs) of the trunk in teleost zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryo. Here we describe experimental procedures, including in vivo observation of transgenic zebrafish embryo and whole mount in situ hybridization, to investigate ISV development in zebrafish embryos and assess the effect of antiangiogenic compounds on these vessels.
