Previous studies have shown that Xenopus oocytes possess a cortical shell, which includes actin-containing microfilaments and cytokeratin-containing intermediate filaments. In this paper we show that oocytes of Xenopus laevis also contain filaments throughout their cytoplasm which are stained by several anti-vimentin antibody preparations. We also show that dramatic changes in pattern of these filaments occur during oocyte differentiation, first during vitellogenesis, and then during maturation of the oocyte to form an egg.
先前的研究表明，非洲爪蟾卵母细胞具有一层皮质壳，其中包括含肌动蛋白的微丝和含细胞角蛋白的中间丝。在本文中，我们表明非洲爪蟾的卵母细胞在其整个细胞质中也含有被几种抗波形蛋白抗体制剂染色的细丝。我们还表明，这些细丝的模式在卵母细胞分化过程中发生了显著变化，首先是在卵黄发生期间，然后是在卵母细胞成熟形成卵子的过程中。
