(A) Sagittal view of 3-d postfertilization Tg(kdrl:mCherry) transgenic zebrafish before transplantation. Arrows indicates where sharp “U turn” of blood occurs. (Scale bar: 250 µm.) (B) Xenotransplanted GFP-tagged Brx-50 cultured CTC cluster and singlet (green) occluding at the caudal end of the zebrafish where the dorsal aorta (DA) terminates and the caudal vein (CV) begins. (Scale bar: 50 µm.) |
(A) Sagittal view of head of 3-d postfertilization Tg(kdrl:mCherry) transgenic zebrafish showing transplanted human CTC cluster (white arrow) transiting through mandibular arch. (B) Close-up image of same transplanted CTC cluster (white arrow) showing displacement of cluster over time. Photomicrographs were captured less than 10 min apart. (Scale bar: 50 µm.) |
