Developing Drosophila embryo

Formation of the cephalic furrow in the anterior end of a developing Drosophila melanogaster embryo visualized with the help of several fluorescent stains. A primary antibody to neurotactin was visualized using a red-fluorescent Cy3 dye secondary antibody (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech Ltd.). Primary antibodies to plasma membrane–bound myosin and to nuclear-localized even-skipped (Eve) protein were visualized with green-fluorescent Alexa Fluor® 488 Goat Anti–Mouse IgG antibody (Cat. No. A11001) and Alexa Fluor® 488 Goat Anti–Rabbit IgG antibody (Cat. No. A11008), respectively. The nuclei were stained with blue-fluorescent Hoechst 33342 (Cat. No. H1399, H3570, H21492). The sample was prepared by Eric Wieschaus, and the imaging was performed by Joe Goodhouse of Princeton University.
