Normal cells in teratomas (A) and embryoid bodies (D) are covered by a smooth basement membrane that is strictly located in close vicinity of the cell surface (arrowhead). In β1-null teratomas as well as β1-null embryoid bodies, the basement membranes are partially detached (B and F, arrows), multilayered (C), or show an increased thickness and a loss of typical structure (E).
