Fig. 8. Staining, pattern of anti-N-CAM antibodies on
Xenopus lens and olfactory epithelium. (A) The lens
epithelium of stage 52 Xenopus is strongly labeled by anti-
N-CAM antibodies; lens fibers are not stained.
(B) Tangential section through the same lens; the cell
surface of the epithelial cells is strongly stained in areas of
cell-cell contact. (C) Transverse section through the same
epithelium, the apical aspect of the epithelial cells is not
stained. (D) Section through the olfactory organ of a stage
64 NF Xenopus tadpole. The olfactory nerve and the
sensory part of the olfactory epithelium are strongly stained
by anti-N-CAM antibodies. If, lens fiber; oe, olfactory
epithelium; oln, olfactory nerve. Bar=50um. |
