Fig. 1. Ciliated cells are arranged in a regularly spaced pattern and
are marked by the expression of an a-tubulin gene. (A,B) Scanning
electromicrographs of the skin of a Xenopus embryo (stage 25) taken
at a magnification of 200´ (A) and 750´ (B). Note the spacing
pattern of cells with tufts of cilia in the outer layer of Xenopus skin
(B, Arrow). (C) Xenopus embryo (stage 22) stained in whole mount
using HRP immunohistochemistry with a mouse monoclonal
antibody directed against acetylated a-tubulin (6-11B1).
(D) Xenopus embryo (stage 25) double-labeled by in situ
hybridization with the a-tubulin probe (light blue) followed by 6-
11B1 antibody staining (brown). (E) Transverse section of the
embryo shown in D, confirming that the same cells stain with both
the a-tubulin probe and the 6-11B1 antibody (arrows). Image published in: Deblandre GA et al. (1999) Copyright © 1999. Image reproduced with permission of the publisher and the copyright holder.
