Fig. 4. Indirect immunofluorescence. C. reinhardtii wild-type strain 124
MT was probed using primary antibodies against DIP13 or
-tubulin
and a fluorescence-labeled secondary antibody. DIP13 antibody stains basal
bodies (A; bb) and the anterior part of the microtubules (B). An overexposed
cell is shown in D to point out punctate staining of flagella (f). Flagellar
localization was confirmed by immunoblotting of isolated and
detergent-extracted flagella (E; F, whole flagella; M, membrane and matrix
fraction; A, axonemes). anti-
-tubulin antiserum (C; positive control)
shows strong labeling of flagella and cytoplasmic microtubules. Exposure times
for photographing indirect immunofluorescence were 12 seconds (A, B) or 30
seconds (D) for DIP13 and 5 seconds for
-tubulin (C). Bars, 10
µm.
