thymidine kinase cell lineage ablation technique

[Allen R. Place]

I'm interested if anybody has tried the thymidine kinase cell lineage 
ablation technique with zebrafish?  If so how successful was it? 
Also a side question is whether anyone knows if zebrafish larvae 
are sensitive to antiherpetic drug ganciclovir (GCV)? This method is 
based on the selective toxicity to GCV in cells expressing a herpes 
virus thymidine kinase suicide gene.  I hope you can help Al
