F I G U R E 2 in Characterisation of stem and proliferating cells on the retina and lens of loach Misgurnus anguillicaudatus

F I G U R E 2 The localisation in the retina of Misgurnus anguillicaudatus of (a), (d), (g), (j) bmi1, (b), (e), (h), (k) msi1 and (c), (f), (i), (l) sox2 genes () by using fluorescent in situ hybridisation: (a), (b), (c) 1 month old; (d), (e), (f) age of 7 months; (g), (h), (i) age of 1 year. The visual layer and some few pigment epithelial cells of retina, as well as the lens were the obvious sites for genes expressions. (j), (k), (l) Negative control sense probe. L, Lens; g, ganglion cell layer; vl, visual layer or photoreceptor layer; PE, pigment epithelium. The total number of fish used was n = 15
