Title
Z-stack images of medaka brain that visualize clonally related units in the subpallium
Description
Z-series images of medaka brain obtained by light sheet microscopy that visualize clonally related units in the pallium and in the subpallium. This transgenic line express fluorescent protein under HuC promoter, which drives expression in neural progenitor cells. As the reporter GFP was expressed in neural progenitor cells at the neurula stage (stage 16–17) by Cre-loxp recombination system, we can trace the lineage in the adult fish. GFP-positive cells (green) and DsRed-positive cells (red) are mixed in the subpallial region. Blue signals indicate DAPI staining.

Description
The medaka brain deriverd from two transgenic lines. One is the transgenic line (Tg (HuC:loxp-DsRed-loxp-GFP)) that visualized neural progenitors by the HuC promoter. The second is a line (Tg (HSP-Cre)) that expresses Cre recombinase under the heat shock protein promoter. In the absence of the recombination, DsRed is expressed in the neural progenitor cells. When Cre-loxp recombination is induced the neural progenitors express GFP instead of DsRed.
