Fig. 6. Association of Shh::GFP ligand with lysosomes and stabilized
microtubules. (A-C) High magnification of apical compartment of
8-somite-stage mouse neural tubes of indicated genotype. Nuclei (blue),
Shh::GFP ligand (green), Lamp1 (red). The association of Shh::GFP ligand with
the lysosome is indicated by the arrows. The bulk of Shh::GFP ligand apical
accumulation does not co-segregate with the lysosome. (D-F)
Immunostaining for acetylated
-tubulin reveals a network of stabilized
microtubules (red) that span between the apical and basal surfaces of neural
progenitors. Shh::GFP (green) is present in the notochord (asterisk). The
boxed region in D is shown at high magnification in E,F. Arrows in E indicate
a string of Shh::GFP ligand puncta.
