Fig. 2. Bves expression in muscle and epithelia. A: B846 polyclonal immunoreagent detects Bves (red) in the epithelial epicardium (epic), delaminated
migratory cells (arrows), and myocardium (myo) in a section through a developing chick heart. Smooth muscle actin (green) labels forming coronary
vessels (cv) in the subepicardial space. B: Five-day frog embryo labeled with -XBves (green). Positive cells are found in the epidermis (ep), the
developing heart (h), and the velar plate (arrows). C: Bves is distributed at the cell circumference in cultured human corneal epithelial cells, as labeled
by B846 polyclonal antisera. D: Bves is detected by -Bves B846 (red) in the serosa (ser), the smooth muscle (sm), and the gastric epithelium (arrows)
of the adult mouse intestine. The 4 ,6-diamidine-2-phenylidole-dihydrochloride (DAPI) labels the cell nuclei (blue). E: -XBves detects epithelium
(arrows) and the smooth muscle (sm) cells of the adult Xenopus gut (green). F: Xenopus Bves is recognized by -XBves in the epithelial layers of the
adult frog eye, including the cornea (cor) and retina (ret). |
