Abstract
Monitoring the embryonic development is of fundamental importance for developmental biology. Here we report a successful experimental protocol for immunohistological and immunocytological localization of developmental characters in whole-mount embryos of Macrostomum lignano. Conventional techniques for immunolocalization in flatworm embryos engender the use of sharpened needles or a micro-injection system to punctuate the impermeable eggshell. However, these methods are either time-consuming or requiring a lot of dexterity (puncturing) or expensive (micro-injection system). We illustrate the advantages of this new technique by several examples of immunolocalization in M. lignano and discuss the optimal conditions for the protocol in M. lignano.
