Immunolabeling of larvae of Wirenia argentea . Maximum intensity projections of confocal image stacks; apical is up and scale bar equals 40 μm in all panels. A: Labeling of acetylated α-tubulin-like immunoreactive (−LIR) components; 4 to 5 days posthatching (dph) larva scanned in ventral aspect showing lateral neurite bundles (arrows); note that the neurite bundle on the left side of the animal is not yet fully developed. B: Labeling of acetylated α-tubulin-LIR components; 6 to 7 dph larva scanned in right lateral aspect showing lateral neurite bundles (arrows) with neurites (double arrowheads) branching off to the dorsal parts of the animal. C: Labeling of serotonin-LIR components; 11 to 12 dph larva scanned in left lateral aspect showing signal in the apical organ, the prototrochal nerve plexus, the lateral neurite bundles (arrows), and the suprarectal commissure. D: Labeling of acetylated α-tubulin-LIR (blue) and FMRF-amide-LIR (yellow) components; 9 to 10 dph larva scanned in ventral aspect showing lateral neurite bundles (arrows) with neurites (arrowheads) branching off to the prototroch and the lateral parts of the pre-trochal region. Abbreviations: ao, apical organ; at, apical tuft; np, neuropil of apical organ; pnp, prototrochal nerve plexus; pt, prototroch; snt, serotonin-LIR neurites to terminal body region; src, suprarectal commissure; tt, telotroch.
