Fig. 15: immunogold labeled centrin of cytostomal cord

Thin frozen sections of lightly fixed cells treated with a monoclonal antibody specific for centrin, using the indirect immunogold labeling technique, shows that the cytostomal cord, like the infraciliary lattice, contains centrin. Like myonemes and spasmonemes of Vorticella and other Peritrichia these structures contract in the presence of calcium. cp mt, cytopharyngeal ribbons. EM taken on 12/10/92 by R.
