Table 1 Tomogram statistics for one-cell stage embryos

From: Ist1 regulates ESCRT-III assembly and function during multivesicular endosome biogenesis in Caenorhabditis elegans embryos

Intralumenal vesicle (ILV) diameter

57 (±1) nm, n = 534

Multivesicular endosome diameter

401 (±12) nm, n = 129

Percentage of ILVs in contact

81 (±1)%, n = 532

  1. The average size and distribution of ILVs and the diameter of wild type MVEs was determined using electron tomography. S.E.M. is reported in each case
