Description

Multiple branching of actin filaments in lamellipodia of Xenopus keratocytes. This image show an enlargement of a local region from the overview of the leading edge, CIL 24786. Image corresponds to Figure 1d from J Cell Biol. 1999 May 31;145(5):1009-26. Figure 1b-1g are CIL 24882-24887.

Technical Details

Procedures for detergent extraction, immunostaining, S1 decoration, light, and EM were described previously (Svitkina et al., 1995, 1996, 1997;Verkhovsky et al., 1995; Svitkina and Borisy, 1998).
