Figure 1 CBs and gems colocalize in most interphase cell types. HeLa-ATCC cells were fixed without detergent preextraction and then stained with anti-p80 coilin (coiled bodies are red) and anti-SMN (gems are green) antibodies. The twin structures in this cell type show complete overlap, as revealed by the yellow signal. Another strain of HeLa (HeLa-PV; Liu et al. 1996, 1997) often displays separate SMN and/or coilin foci (see text). In addition to the nuclear gem/CB staining, the SMN antibody localizes to the cytoplasm.
