Fig. 5. Muscle attachments sites are unaffected in
Df(2R)ED3716CG2 mutant embryos. Muscle attachment sites
were analyzed in Df(2R)ED3716CG2 mutants.
Df(2R)ED3716CG2 mutant (A-D), and control
Df(2R)ED3716CG2/CyOwglacZ embryos (E-H) were
stained with anti-ßPS integrin antibodies to visualize muscle attachment
sites (A,C,E,G). Embryos were double-stained with anti-myosin heavy chain
(MHC) to visualize gross muscle structure (B,D,F,H). Both genotypes showed
wild-type localization of ßPS integrin at muscle attachment sites
(arrowheads), as well as normal muscle morphology. Mutant embryos were
identified by absence of lacZ balancer (red in F and H).
