Abnormal Mitoses in the Absence of Myb

    Imaginal disc cells from Myb mutant larvae were stained with propidium iodide for DNA (blue), anti-beta-tubulin (green), and anti-phosphohistone H3 for condensed chromatin (red).  Note the mass of condensed DNA that is unattached to the spindle (left) as well as a nucleus with a multipolar spindle (right).
