WBPicture0000007968 Description: Figure 6. MEX-3 distribution in par-2, par-3 and par-4 mutant embryos. Fluorescence micrographs showing fixed 4-cell-stage wild-type and par mutant embryos stained with antibodies specific for MEX-3 protein (left column) and with DAPI (right column). For quantitation of results, see Table 4. (A,E) Wild-type 4-cell-stage embryo with high levels of MEX-3 in ABa and ABp (A). MEX-3 is also a P-granule component (Draper et al., 1996) as indicated by the punctate staining in P2(A). (B,F) par-2(lw32) 4-cell-stage embryowith MEX-3 at higher levels in anterior than in posterior blastomeres (B). (C,G) par-3(it71) 4-cell-stage embryo with MEX-3 at high levels in all blastomeres (C). MEX-3 is also detectable in P-granules in P2and EMS; some of these are visible in the par-2 embryo (B).(D,H) par-4(it57ts) 4-cell-stage embryo with MEX-3 at high levels in all blastomeres (D).
