Fig. 1. Localization of TRPN1 in lateral-line hair cells of stage-45 Xenopus embryos. (A and B) Dissecting microscope dorsal view of embryos that had been stained with FM1-43 to label lateral-line hair cells. In A, red arrows point to lateral-line hair cells around the eye; in B, white arrows highlight the absence of FM1-43 staining around the eyes of neomycin-treated embryos. (C and D) Shown are A and B merged with their respective transmitted light images to better show the localization of FM1-43 staining. (E) Staining with the anti-TRPN1 antibody. Dorsal view of an embryo that had been bleached to distinguish alkaline phosphatase staining from pigment. Red arrows point to staining of the lateral-line stitches around the eye. Blue arrows point to staining of the nostrils. (F) Anti-TRPN1 staining of unbleached, neomycin-treated embryo. Nostrils are positive for TRPN1, but staining around the eyes is absent, showing that the neomycin effect is specific to lateral-line hair cells. (G) Close-up of the lateral-line staining surrounding the eye shown in E. Red arrows point to signal in lateral-line stitches. (H) Dorsal view of bleached embryo. Preadsorption of the TRPN1 antibody with the epitope peptide prevented TRPN1 staining of both the lateral line and the nostril (white arrows).
