Cilia with different structures and primary cilia in diverse cell types and tissues. (A) Cross section of the 9+0 axonemal structure of the non-motile primary cilium. (B) Cross section of the 9+2 axonemal structure of the motile cilium with the motor molecules. (C) Primary cilia on Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. Cilia were stained with anti-α tubulin acetylated (red), basal bodies with anti-γ tubulin (green) and nuclei with 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI). (D) Primary cilia in the ganglionic eminence of a brain at E12.5. Cilia were revealed by anti-adenylyl cyclase III (green), a marker specific for neuronal cilia, and nuclei were stained with DAPI. (E) Primary cilia in the renal tubules of a mouse at P7. Cilia were stained with anti-α tubulin acetylated (red) and dashed lines indicate the shape of the tubules. (F) Primary cilia in the limb bud in a mouse at P0. Cilia (indicated by arrows) were revealed with anti-α tubulin acetylated (red).
