“Zebrafishing” for Novel Genes Relevant to the Glomerular Filtration Barrier

Figure 5

The Tg(l-fabp:DBP-eGFP/flk-mcherry) fish line is used to examine the integrity of the general vascular system of the fish. Normal development of the blood vessels can be examined as well as DBP-eGFP-fluorescence. If no vascular leakage is detected, the two fluorescent markers demonstrate a perfect overlap in the merged image.
