Figure Lengend Snippet: Astroglia were present in the Fz5 mutant vitreous as indicated by GFAP. Throughout panels, GFAP is in red , and AP2β is in green . “+/+”, wild-type mice ( Fz5 +/+ ); “−/−”, mutant mice ( Fz5 −/− ). ( A–H ) P3 retina. ( A, B ) Bright-field microscopy. Arrows in ( B ), ( D ), and ( F ) point to the pigmentary retrolental mass. Arrowheads in ( F ) point to the vitreous hyaloid vessel fragments positive for GFAP in the mutants. ( I–P ) Same panel arrangement as in ( A–H ).
