FIG. 5. Immunofluorescence staining for PV in degenerating stage 64 tadpole tails. (A) Phase-contrast image of the myotomal muscles from the middle region of the tail. (B) The same section stained for PV. (C) Phase-contrast image of a strip of muscle from the caudal end of the tail, with two dying PV+ cells, of which the upper one is advanced in its degeneration. (D) Corresponding PV immunofluorescence. The black star-like objects in (A) and (C) are melanocytes, and the black column in (C) is a blood vessel. (E) Phase-contrast view of a cross-section of a caudal portion of the tail. (F) Corresponding PV immunofluorescence staining. Bar = 38 pm in (A) and (B), 19 pm in (C) and (D), and 75 pm in (E) and (F). Image published in: Schwartz LM and Kay BK (1988) Copyright © 1988.
