Fig. 6. Immunostaining of the CNS of Xenopus embryos using AFRU. A: Midsagittal section of a 41-hour-old embryo. The immunocytochemical reaction is confined to the SCO, FO, and FP. B: Higher magnification of the SCO shown in a. C: Higher magnification of the FO shown in a. AFRU-ir cells of the FO form a column closely apposed to the notochord. The arrow indicates cephalic end of the immunoreactive column of FP cells. D: Frontal section of a 33-hour-old embryo. Moderate RF-immunoreactivity is seen in cells of the FO. E: Frontal section of a 33-hour-old embryo. AFRU-ir material is present in the lumen of the ampulla caudalis (arrowheads). Scale bar 5 30 μm. AC, Ampulla caudalis; FO, flexural organ; FP, floor plate; N, notochord; SCO, subcommissural organ. Scale bars5200 μm in A, 30 μm in B and E, 50 μm in C and D. Image published in: Yulis CR et al.
