The extracellular matrix of Xenopus laevis eggs: a quick-freeze, deep- etch analysis of its modification at fertilization
Eggs of the amphibian, Xenopus laevis, were quick-frozen, deep-etched, and rotary-shadowed. The structure of the extracellular matrix surrounding these eggs, including the perivitelline space and the vitelline envelope (VE), was visualized in platinum replicas by electron microscopy. The perivitelli...
