Jaburetox-induced modifications in cultured hemocytes. The hemolymph was collected and the hemocytes were cultured in a supplemented Schneider’s insect medium as described in Methods. Cells were incubated for 24 h with 50 nM Jaburetox (b, e), 100 nM Jaburetox (c, f) or an equivalent volume of PB (a, d) as control and stained with DAPI (a-c) or with anti-α-tubulin/Alexa 594 (d-f). Arrowheads indicate condensed nuclei. The figure shows representative experiments of three independent assays. Scale-bars: 30 μm (magnification of 1000×)
