Fig. 5 Cyclin B mRNA in full-grown oocytes treated with 1 (A, B) or 10 μg/ml (C) cytochalasin B. In the oocytes treated with 1 μg/ml cytochalasin B, the aggregation of cyclin B mRNA is seen as various forms depending on batches of oocytes (the aggregation was segregated into pieces scattered in the cytoplasm as in A or only deformed without apparent segregation as in B), whereas it was completely dispersed in the oocytes treated with 10 μg/ml cytochalasin B (C). Note that 10 μg/ml cytochalasin B induced GVBD in situ without migration of the germinal vesicle (indicated by arrow). GV, germinal vesicle (marked by broken lines). Scale, 100 μm.
