Keratinocytes. Immunofluorescent light micrograph of embryonic keratinocyte skin cells. The nuclei of these cells are blue. Green coloured phosphtyr- osine proteins are seen around the nuclei. These are the precursors of melanin,the pigment which colours the skin. Red stained vinculin is a protein found in dividing cells. These cells are known as primary keratinocytes,found in embryonic tissue,they will eventually produce the protein,keratin which is found in hair,nails and horny tissue. Immunofluorescence is a staining technique which uses antibodies to attach fluorescent dyes to specific cells and molecules. Magnification:x374 at 4.5x6cm size | |
