Figure Lengend Snippet: FIGURE 5. Heterogeneous migratory behavior of thymocytes expressing ccr9a and ccr9a/b in the double-transgenic (ccr9a:h2b-gfp;ccr9b:tagRFP) fish at 11 dpf. (A) Average cell speed of individual thymocytes over a 30-min period. Number of tracked cells for ccr9a and ccr9a/b are 653 and 334, re- spectively. (B) Trajectories of ccr9a (top panel) and ccr9a/b cells (bottom panel) with average cell speed less than (blue) or greater than (yellow) 3 mm/min. (C) Displacement length of ccr9a and ccr9a/b cells with average cell speed less than (blue) or greater than (yellow) than 3 mm/min. Error bars show SE in mean. (D) Straightness of individual thymocytes with average cell increased to 3 mm/min. (E) Trajectories of ccr9a (left panel) and ccr9a/b cells (right panel). Lateral view of thymus. Color-coded trajectories indicate the straightness values according to (D). MSD graphs (F) and track plots of ccr9a/b (G) and ccr9a (H) cells with different straightness values. In track plots, the cell trajectories were aligned for the starting position. The red line in (F) represents the linear regression (R) analysis for each plot. ***p , 0.001.
