Abstract

Chicken embryo fibroblast cells were microinjected with several different monoclonal antibodies that recognize certain nonmuscle isoforms of tropomyosin. Immediately after injection, cells were recorded with a time-lapse video imaging system; later analysis of the tapes revealed that particles in cells injected with one of these antibodies showed a dramatic decrease in instantaneous speed while moving, distance moved per saltation, and proportion of time spent in motion.
