The absence of Myo1g affects the migratory phenotype of activated B lymphocytes. (a) Representative images (40 × objective) of migrating LPS + IL-4 activated WT B cells in a CXCL13 gradient. Myo1g is polarized toward the leading edge (white arrows). (b) Representative images (63 × objective) of activated WT or Myo1g−/− B lymphocytes migrating on Fibronectin or Poly-l-Lysine coated slides in a CXCL13 gradient 30 min, followed by staining with TRITC-Phalloidin. Scale bars 5 μm. n = 3. (c) Measurement of the number of membrane protrusions, (d) length of protrusions, and (e) elliptical factor of CXCL13-stimulated WT or Myo1g−/− B lymphocytes migrating on Fibronectin and Poly-l-Lysine coated slides. Data correspond to three independent experiments. Data are presented as mean ± s.d. ****P < 0.0001.
