WBPicture0000007958DescriptionFigure 4. Localization of the MEX-1 protein. The left column shows immunofluorescence photomicrographs of fixed wild-type embryos after staining with the affinity-purified MEX-1 antiserum 8230I (see Materials and Methods). The right column shows DAPI images of nuclei for each embryo shown on the left; in each of these images the germline blastomere (long arrow) and its sister (short arrow) are indicated. (A,B) 1-cell embryo: MEX-1 is most abundant in the posterior half of the egg, and also is present in distinct granules (for description see Fig. 5). (C,D) 2-cell embryo: MEX-1 is present at high levels in P1 and at lower levels in AB. (E,F) Early 4-cell embryo: MEX-1 is detected in P2and, at lower levels, in EMS.(G,H) Dividing 6-cell embryo with EMS in telophase and P2inmetaphase: MEX-1 is detected only in P2. Note that the granules are localized toward the ventral side of P2; this is the side that becomes the germline blastomere P3after division. (I,J) 12-cell embryo:MEX-1 is detected at high levels in P3and at lower levels in C. (K,L) Late 28-cell embryo: MEX-1 is detected only in P4. All images are shown at the same magnification; embryos are 45 µm in length.
