Distribution of Hpβ-catenin during mitosis. Embryonic cells at various mitotic stages (H. pulcherrimus) were stained with Hpβ-catenin antibody (green) and PI (red). Cells marked with asterisks in each embryo of (A), (B), (C) and (D) respectively were enlarged in the right-side panel (a, b, c, d). (A) At the 56-cell stage, most macromere and all mesomere derivatives shown were in prophase. (B) Cells at metaphase and anaphase in the 28-cell stage embryo. (C) Cells at telophase in the 28-cell stage embryo from the ventral view. Macromeres have just divided to be in telophase, showing an irregular, chambered structure in the process of reconstruction of the daughter nuclei. (D) A ventral view of 28-cell stage embryo. Macromeres were at interphase.
