TRP-2/DT, a new early melanoblast marker, shows that steel growth factor (c-kit ligand) is a survival factor

We have used a probe derived from TRP-2/DT to detect migratory melanoblasts shortly after they emerge from the neural crest, as early as 10 days post coitum (dpc). TRP-2/DT expression is otherwise restricted to the presumptive pigmented retinal epithelium, the developing telencephalon and the endoly... View More
