ApNEAAT1 localization in embryos during bacteriocyte cellularization (stages 12, 13, and 14). Signals representing ApNEAAT1 immunoactivity are shown in green, F-actin (Phalloidin) is in red, and nuclei (DAPI) are in blue (color key below figure). Confocal images a–c show ApNEAAT1 antibody staining and a’–c’ show merged results for ApNEAAT1 antibody, F-actin, and nuclei. Confocal images d–f are preadsorbed controls showing the antibody signal and d’–f’ are preadsorbed controls showing the merged results for ApNEAAT1 antibody, F-actin, and nuclei. g–i Illustrations of each embryonic stage. White arrowheads mark ApNEAAT1 antibody localization to the maternal follicular epithelium; arrows indicate somatic cell membrane localization. Scale bars = 10 µm. bc bacteriocyte, fc follicle cells, gc germ cells, hd head, lb labial segment, mn mandible segment, mx maxilla segment, st stage, t1–t3 the three thoracic segments
