PdC-Lectin immunolabeling in endodermal cells of the oral tissue in tentacles. Anti-PdC-Lectin coupled to Alexafluor 568 is revealed in orange (A), (B), (C), (E), (F) and (G). (D) and (H) represent control experiments performed with anti-PdC-Lectin antibodies pre-adsorbed with the synthetic peptide used for immunization. (A), (D) and (E) are large views of the oral tissue (OT) facing the coelenteron (Co) of coral. (B), (C), (F), (G) and (H) correspond to magnifications of coral cells in contact with the coelenteron (Gastric cavity). Other abbreviations: Zx zooxanthellae.
