LanB1 is required for proper localisation of Collagen IV at basement membranes. (A-F) Dorsal views of stage 16 embryos (A,B). Lateral views of stage 15 (C,D) and 16 (E,F) embryos. (A,D) In wild-type embryos Collagen IV (red) is found at BMs surrounding the brain (arrow) and midgut (magnification in the white box). (B) This localisation is severely disrupted in LanB1def embryos. (C) In addition, Collagen IV localisation in the ventral nerve cord channels of a stage 15 embryo (arrow) is lost in LanB1def embryos (D, arrow). (E,F) In stage 16 embryos, the ventral nerve cord, visualised with anti-FasII antibody (red), fails to condense properly in LanB1def mutants. White horizontal bars indicate the length of CNS condensation.
