Figure 6


Fig. 6. The persistent cell corpses in the unc-108(sm237) mutant are labeled by Acridine Orange. AO staining of a 1.5-fold stage embryo of wild type (A,B), and of a 4-fold stage embryo of unc-108(sm237) (C,D), unc-108(RNAi) (E,F) or ced-1(e1735) (G,H) that contain apoptotic cells (A,B) or persistent cell corpses (C-H). Bright AO staining was observed in the dying cell of the wild-type embryo and the persistent cell corpses in the unc-108(sm237) mutant and unc-108(RNAi) embryos, but not in the ced-1(e1735) mutant (arrows). Scale bars: 5 µm.
