Table II. Analysis of SMN and extranucleolar foci in MEF cell lines.
MEF | Genotype | Extranucleolar focia,b | SMN focia | SMN foci containing Nopp |
---|---|---|---|---|
% | % | |||
26 | +/+ | 60–80c (1.7/cell)d | 20–30 (1.4/cell)d | 90 (212 of 237) |
42 | −/− | 10–30 (∼1/cell)d | 15–25 (1.5/cell)d | 0 (0 of 368) |
43 | −/− | 10–30 (∼1/cell)d | <10 (1.5/cell)d | 0 (0 of 268) |
Fraction of cells with one or more foci; ranges reflect variability between experiments.
Foci scored with Fb or Nopp in the presence of NOH61 to exclude small nucleoli.
Similar results were obtained when cells were scored with anticoilin antibodies.
Scored for cells with one or more foci.
