Figure 1. Ciliated tissues in Xenopus laevis embryos and tadpoles. Immunofluorescent staining of Xenopus laevis embryos with anti-acetylated-α-tubulin antibody to reveal cilia (green) of (A) the gastrocoel roof plate (GRP) at stage 17, (B) the neural tube at stage 26, and (C) the embryonic mucociliary epidermis at stage 32. The different types of ciliated cells are shown in magnified views. Co-staining: Phalloidin for F-actin (red), anti-serotonin for small secretory cells (5HT; blue). Basal bodies were visualized by expression of centrin4-rfp (red) and gfp-cp110 (blue). Digitized images and developmental data from Nieuwkoop and Faber (1994) Normal Table of Xenopus laevis (Daudin) were obtained from Xenbase.org Image published in: Walentek P and Quigley IK (2017) Copyright © 2017.
