Fig. 3. Localisation of tagged mouse WT1 in nuclear structures of Xenopus
oocytes. (A-D) Lampbrush chromosome bivalent showing the location of WT1
(+KTS) as FITC image (A), location of p116 as TRITC image (B), corresponding
DAPI (C) and phase-contrast (D) images. In addition to locating to the lateral
loops of the chromosomes, both WT1 (+KTS) and endogenous p116 locate to Cajal
bodies (arrows in A, B and D) and to smaller nuclear particles. (E,F) In
images obtained at higher power, WT1 (+KTS) is seen to be specific to the
B-snurposomes (arrows) located on the surfaces of the Cajal bodies (E, FITC
and F, phase contrast). (G-I) Expression of WT1 (KTS) shows that it is
restricted to the lateral loops of the chromosomes (G) and is not found in
Cajal bodies (arrows in I) or in other nuclear particles. The chromosomal DNA
axes are stained with DAPI (H).
