Number

ZIN-StaV-0-1

Species: Schistomeringos japonica (Annenkova, 1937)    Annelida

Preparation Type: whole mount

Prepared: V.V. Starunov

Description: Musculature is stained by TRITC-conjugated phalloidin. Nervous system is labeled using antibodies against acetylated tubulin and serotonin.

Method: acetylated alpha-tubulin, F-actin in muscle fibers (Phalloidin), serotonin

Method Description: The staining protocol is described in detail in: Starunov V. V. et al. A metameric origin for the annelid pygidium? // BMC evolutionary biology. – 2015. – V. 15, No 1. – P. 25. http://bmcevolbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12862-015-0299-z
