Fig. 2.

Patterns of tyrosine phospho-proteins change during meiotic maturation. The oocytes in this figure were selected from a single set of oocytes imaged together as a set to demonstrate the actual differences of fluorescence intensity between GV, MI and MII. Each image shown here is a single section (1 µm thick) at the central plane of the oocyte. The intensity of these images has not been modified in order to demonstrate actual fluorescence intensity differences between oocytes at different stages of maturation. This is the same plane used for later measurements for linescans and fluorescence intensity comparisons. (white=pTyr, red=DNA)
