Distribution of actin and tubulin in cells and in glycerinated cell models after treatment with cytochalasin B (CB)
Open accessAbstract
Abstract The organization of microfilaments and microtubules in cultured cells before and after the addition of cytochalasin B (CB) was studied both by electron microscopy and immunofluorescence microscopy using antibodies specific for actin, tubulin and tropomyosin. CB induces a rapid disorganization of normal microfilament bundles. Star-like patches of actin and tropomyosin are visualized in immunofluorescence microscopy and dense aggregates of condensed microfilaments are seen in electron microscopy. The integrity of the microtubules is not changed by CB treatment. Addition of CB to glycerinated cells, in contrast to normal cells, does not result in the disorganization of microfilament bundles. CB-treated glycerinated models can still contract upon addition of ATP. Thus the CB-induced rearrangement of microfilament bundles occurs only in vivo and not in glycerinated cell contractility models.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
