From: PaxA, but not PaxC, is required for cnidocyte development in the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis
Knockdown of PaxA results in downregulation of cnidocyte-specific genes. a–h PaxA is largely co-expressed with a–d Ngal and e–h Ggt. Arrows indicate cells expressing both markers, and dotted circles indicate cells expressing Ngal or Ggt only. i Knockdown of PaxA results in a decrease in the number of cells expressing Ngal and Ggt (relative to control morpholino) and j downregulation of other cnidocyte-specific genes, relative to embryos injected with control MO. Asterisk indicates significant difference relative to Ef1B expression. Main images a, e are 3D renderings of confocal z-stacks; high-magnification images are single optical sections. Images in i are DIC micrographs
