Figure 4. The MVB-like vacuoles in umbrella cells of Buff mice are related to FVs and belong to the degradative pathway.

Figure 4

Gallery of electron micrographs of cytoplasmic vacuoles in Buff mouse umbrella cells. A) The MVB-like vacuoles have rather angular contours, indicating a certain rigidity of the limiting membranes. B) At higher magnification, the asymmetric unit membrane (AUM) structure, typical of FVs and of the apical plasma membrane of normal umbrella cells, can also be seen in these MVB-like vacuoles. C–E) The luminal contents of these large MVB-like vacuoles differ widely.
