From: sli is required for proper morphology and migration of sensory neurons in the Drosophila PNS
Attachment and cap cells follow aberrant lch5 dendrites in absence of sli. a. Cartoon depiction of lch5 neurons (red) and three different support cells (green): ligament cells, cap cells, and attachment cells. All embryos labeled with 22C10 (red) to mark all PNS neurons and α-tubulin85E (green) to mark ligament, cap and attachment cells (b, c). B. WT embryo displaying normal morphology of lch5 neurons. White arrow points to the lch5 neuronal dendrites and white arrowhead points to cap/attachment cells dorsal to the lch5 neurons that appear to be in straight streaks stemming from the lch5 dendrites. c. sli2 embryo displaying irregular morphology with dendrites pointing in all directions (white arrow). The cap/attachment cells dorsal to the lch5 cluster (white arrowhead) follow the aberrant dendrites stemming from the lch5 neurons. The total number of abdominal lch5 clusters examined: WT (n = 34), sli2 (n = 28)
