Fig. 1. Localization of NDP kinase in quiescent and EGF-treated NIH-3T3 cells. (a)
In resting cells, NDP kinase accumulates in ring-like structures (v) that
correspond to phase-bright cytoplasmic vesicles (b). (c) In cells treated with
10 ng ml1 EGF for 2 minutes, NDP kinase is present in
lamellipodia and ruffles (r) as well as around cytoplasmic vesicles (v); (d)
the corresponding phase-contrast image. Arrowheads indicate areas where the
intensity of the fluorescence signal does not coincide with phase-dark areas.
NDP kinase was visualized with polyclonal Ab-1. Scale bar, 25 µm.
