Subcellular_localizationStained in neuronal processes and cell bodies. Spindles are stained more strongly.
TypeAntibody3A5 antibody raised against tubulin purified from Drosophila embryo
PatternProminent staining of the entire nervous system, specially the axonal processes emanating from neuronal cell bodies is observed at all developmental stages. Neuronal processes including axonal and dendrites consistently stains brighter than the cell bodies. Staining is detected in the central neurophil (nerve ring) in the head, the ventral cord consisting of motor neurons along the body length, lateral nerve cords, lumbar commissures and neuronal cell bodies in the tail ganglia. Staining is observed in the six sets of touch receptor neurons ALML, ALMR, PLML, PLMR, AVM and PVM. In the head region, neurons and their axonal and dendritic processes in the anterior ganglia, lateral ganglia, ventral ganglion, retro-vesicular ganglion and the nerve ring consisting of axonal fibres from neurons located in the head and tail ganglia are brightly labeled. Neurons and their axonal processes are stained in the tail, which has a pair of bilaterally symmetric lumbar ganglia, a small dorso-rectal ganglion and the pre-anal ganglion at the posterior end of the ventral cord. Besides the major axonal bundle of the ventral nerve cord, the dorsal nerve cord and a set of lateral cords along the body length are also stained. Muscle cells, intestine and hypodermal cells stain weakly. Staining of the mitotic spindles in C. elegans are clearly visible in embryos and meiotic spindles in the germline cells in the gonad of adult hermaphrodites. Spindles are stained more strongly and non-spindle structures.
