FIG. 5. Previtellogenic axolotl oocytes do not have a mitochondrial
cloud. Previtellogenic axolotl oocytes ranging from 170 to 390
mm in diameter (Stage 1, Beetschen and Gautier, 1989), and
Xenopus oocytes ranging from 140 to 290 mm (Stage 1–3, Dumont,
1972) were incubated in MitoTracker Red and examined either by
Quantitative Fluorescence Microscopy (A, C) or as optical sections
with a confocal microscope (B, D). (A, B) Examples of Xenopus
oocytes showing large aggregates of mitochondria corresponding to
the mitochondrial cloud (arrow). (C, D) Examples of axolotl oocytes
lacking a mitochondrial cloud. Image published in: Johnson AD et al. (2001) Copyright © 2001. Image reproduced with permission of the Publisher, Elsevier B. V. Larger Image Printer Friendly View |
