FIG. 4. The appearance of ciliated cells. By late gastrulation (stage 12/13), acetylated tubulin staining was found only in midbody microtubdles (A, two midbodies marked by arrows). At stage 15, a tangential optical section of the surface of an embryo revealed the presence of scattered epidermal cells stained by anti-acetylated tubulin antibody (B, two cells marked by arrows). An optical cross section of the same embryo (C) revealed that these anti-acetylated stained cells were located beneath the surface cell layer (arrows). A physical seetion of a stage 30 embryo stained with anti-acetylated tubulin (D) revealed that the ciliated cells were now located in the surface layer of the epidermis (arrows). Bar in A marks 50 pm; bar in C marks 20 ym for B-D.
