Fig. 6. Vimentin expression in the stage-26 embryo. A lateral optic section of a stage-26 embryo stained with RV202 (A) reveals that vimentin-expressing cells (nv) are present in the neural tube, from the head to the tailbud. Vimentin-expressing somitic mesenchyme (sm) is present on the eight anteriormost trunk somites. Vimentin-expressing mesenchymal cells are found in the head where the branchial arches are forming (hm) as well as below the anterior trunk somites where the pronephros are forming (pm). An oblique frontal/lateral physical section through posterior trunk region of the neural tube and somites of a stage-26 embryo stained with RV202 (B) reveals that the vimentin-expressing cells of the neural tube (nv) become gradually less elongated toward the tail, ant, anterior; pos, posterior; c, cement gland; nt, neural tube; ov, optic vesicle; s, somite. Bars, 350 fim in A and 150/xm in B.
