Fig. 7. Caspase activity in the transgenic zebrafish.
Acetyl-DEVD-
-methylcoumaryl-7-amide (Ac-DEVD-MCA)-hydrolysing activity
was measured in the embryos of casp-1 and casp-2 lines at 3, 6, 9 and 24
h.p.f. Pooled samples, each containing 10 embryos, were used for the assay.
Each value is the mean ± s.d. of three independent experiments.
Asterisks denote significant differences between wild-type and transgenic
embryos (P<0.05, ANOVA).
