Fig. 1. Immunofluorescence localization of occludin (ROC-896 antigen) in Xenopus laevis embryos. Embryos at stages 6 (32-cell) (A,B), 11 (midgastrula) (C,D), 30 (tailbud) (E,F) were labelled with rabbit immune serum (A,C,E) or preimmune serum (B,D,F), followed by FITC-labelled secondary antibody. Note the junctional localization of the antigen at all stages, and the lack of junctional reactivity using preimmune serum. Pigment granules are visible as small black dots in A,B,C. The diffuse cytoplasmic fluorescence in D is probably due to autofluorescence of yolk particles. Bar, 50 mm. Image published in: Cordenonsi M et al. (1997) Copyright © 1997.
