Myc-VFL3-1 is expressed during basal body duplication. Projections of confocal sections performed on transformant expressing the Myc-VFL3-1 protein stained by 1D5 (red) and anti-Myc antibody (green). a Interphase cell, b cell at an early stage of the division process. Insets show higher magnifications of the white squares on the corresponding cells. a In the interphase cell, only singlets and some doublets coexist in the surface (right inset). No Myc labeling is observed. b Right inset, bottom of the dashed line the basal bodies duplication is in progress as judged by the appearance of a 1D5 weak signal (arrowhead) anterior to the mother basal bodies. Myc labeling is observed. Top of the dashed line basal bodies are fully duplicated as judged by the presence of doublets and some triplets (arrows). No Myc labeling is observed
