Supplementary Movie 2: 48 hpf embryos injected with control
(left panel) or Egfl7 antisense (middle and right panel) oligos were
recorded with a video camera. Posterior trunks are shown here. Completeknockdown
was achieved in some embryos resulting in the absence of circulation (the embryo
shown in the middle panel is an example, and is the same embryo shown in the
right panel of movie 1). Partial loss of function was achieved in a subset of
embryos injected with lower dose of the antisense oligo. These embryos showed
a weaker phenotype (embryo in the right panel is an example). In the embryo
shown in the right panel, a segment of the two major trunk vessels failed to
form lumen, thus resulting in premature returning of circulation anterior to
the affected vessels. play movie ...
