Abstract excerpt
The levels and cellular distribution of PV were analyzed at the molecular level in normal and mutant Xenopus laevis embryos. In developing tadpoles, PV protein expression was restricted to fast-twitch myotomal cells, as shown by immunofluorescence experiments with myosin isoform-specific monoclonal antibodies. Both PV expressing and non-expressing myotomal cells can be cultured in vitro without neurons, and...
