...Lawrence S. Chan; Mahin Khatami; Weiye Li; John H. Rockey The morphology and function of actin in cultured bovine retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells were studied. Filamentous actin was identified with a fluorescent mushroom toxin, nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD)-phallacidin, specific for actin. Dark...

... transdifferentiation from PE cells, the distribution of an antigen detected by one monoclonal antibody changed from the cytoplasmic granules to the actin fibers and then its immunoreactivity declined. The other monoclonal antibodies did not react with the dedifferentiated PE cells and transdifferentiated lens cells...

...Patricia N. Farnsworth; Thomas W. Schleich; Barbara Groth-Vasselli; Charles L. Kuckel Based on recent findings from our laboratories, we propose the working hypothesis that the macromolecular organization of the outer cortex is dependent upon a functional link which occurs between actin, γ...

...M. Ireland; H. Maisel Filaments of typical actin morphology can be isolated from acetone powder of lens fiber cells. These filaments, which react with heavy meromyosin, are also present in native form in the water-insoluble fraction of the lens. These findings indicate that native actin filaments...

...Hiroyasu Shirakawa; Nagahisa Yoshimura; Nobuchika Ogino Exposure of cultured human retinal pigment epithelial cells to platelet-derived growth factor, nerve growth factor or epidermal growth factor resulted in a time- and dose-dependent alteration in the distribution of actin stained by rhodamine...

... of cytoskeleton (microtubuli, actin) and osmotic swelling were also tested. Ingested FITC-labeled microparticles were found in phagosomes strongly associated which the cytoskeleton as they could not be easily moved by laser tweezer microscopy. Phagocytosis was observed predominately during dark intervals...
