Figure 5From: Antibodies against conserved amidated neuropeptide epitopes enrich the comparative neurobiology toolboxFVamide and FLamide immunoreactivity in annelid and mollusc larvae. Immunostainings with the FVamide antibody (red) counterstained for acetylated tubulin (acTub, white) in (A) an early Capitella larva, anterior view, (B) a late Capitella larva, ventral view, (C) a Pecten veliger larva, lateral view, and (D, E) a Phestilla larva, ventral (D) and dorsal (E) views. Immunostainings with the FLamide antibody (red) counterstained for acetylated tubulin (acTub, white) in (F) a late Capitella larva, ventral view, and (G) a Phestilla larva, ventral view. Arrows in (C) and (E) point at projections that run along the ciliated velum of Pecten and the ciliated foot of Phestilla. Scale bars: 50 μm. cbn, ciliary band nerve; cg, cerebral ganglion; cpg, cerebropleural ganglion; DIC, differential interference contrast; vg, visceral ganglion.Back to article page
