Note the desmin signal was detected at the periphery of the myoblast but not observed in the fibroblast
Note the desmin signal was detected at the periphery of the myoblast but not observed in the fibroblast. Z-axis of chick myogenic cells showing the differences in the distribution of microtubules, and intermediate filament desmin and nuclei between finger-shaped fibroblasts and mushroom-like muscle cells after 72 hrs of cytochalasin B treatment. The 3-m apart images were taken from a stack of 1-m interval slices, acquired UAA crosslinker 2 using a laser scanning confocal microscope. Cells were labeled with antibodies against -tubulin (green) and desmin (red), and with DAPI (blue). Compare the spread and flat fibroblasts with the round and thick desmin-positive myoblasts. Note that the fibroblast nuclei are located in the 6 and 3-m slices whereas the myoblast nuclei are UAA crosslinker 2 present in all the slices. Scale bar,…
