Fig 10. Immunolocalization of X-ADAM 13 protein by immuno- fluorescence. Cryosectioned embryos were labeled with the 6615 affinity-purified antibody and DATF-conjugated secondary antibody. (A) Horizontal section through the head of a tailbud (stage 24) Xenopus embryo. The section passes throught the neural tube (nt) and the optic vesicles (ov). Note staining of cells along the outer layer of the brain and the optic vesicle. No staining is apparent in the epidermis. (B) Higher magnification view of a horizontal section through the head. This section passes through the neural tube (nt), the notochord (c) and the optic vesicle and is, therefore, more dorsal than in A. From left to right, the fluorescence is concentrated at the border between the sensory layer of the epidermis and the wall of the optic vesicle. The protein is also present in cells along the lateral region of the neural tube Image published in: Alfandari D et al. (1997) Copyright © 1997.
