Fig. 10. The appearance of the actin cytoskeleton in Hsp70-treated coelomocytes.
Coelomocytes exposed to hypotonic shock in the presence or absence of Hsp70
were fixed and stained with Texas Red phalloidin to visualize the actin
cytoskeleton. The actin in coelomocytes incubated in hypotonic medium
polymerized into long filaments that extend to the edges of the large,
flattened cells (AC). Hsp70-treated cells failed to spread or spread
only partially and the actin appears as unpolymerized pools in the center of
the rounded cells (DF).
