Pdcyst-rich protein immunolabeling in calicoblastic cells. Anti-Pdcyst-rich protein coupled to Alexafluor 568 is revealed in orange (A), (B) and (C). (D) and (E) represents control experiments performed with anti-Pdcyst-rich protein antibodies pre-adsorbed with the synthetic peptide used for immunization. (A) and (D) are large views of oral tissue (OT) and aboral tissues (AT) of the coenosarc. (B), (C) and (E) correspond to magnifications of the aboral tissue showing the aboral endoderm (AE), and the calicoblastic ectoderm (CE). Other abbreviations: Co coelenteron, Sk skeleton, SW seawater.
