P19 neurons

Serial sections up through clusters of P19 neurons.

Protein 4.1
Tubulin
Colocalisation

ND cells

Two sections of ND cells (basal and lateral). In the lateral section a number of cells can be seen in mitosis, characterised by a change in the shape and pattern of colour (rounder with red centre and green surround).
Protein 4.1
Tubulin
Colocalisation

A serial section up through a single ND cell. The kidney-shaped nucleus is visible in black surrounding the microtubule-organizing centre (MTOC) in yellow.

Astrocytes

Three-frame animations highlighting the labelling of distinct, yet different, filamentous networks by anti-P4.1 and anti-tubulin antibodies. The MTOC is clearly visible in some cases.

Mitotic spindles

Serial sections through cells undergoing mitosis. The spindle is visible as red lines, with the mitotic asters as yellow/orange regions at the poles. The chromosomes show up as black unlabelled areas.

Cell-cell contacts

Untidy cell-cell contacts where membrane sheets overlap are highlighted by anti-P4.1.
