✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Attachment of muscle of the integument was studied in two species of Balanidae, Balanus balanoides and B. improvisus with electron microscopy. Specilalized epithelial cells (tendon cells) intervene between the muscle and overlying cuticle. An extensive desmosome‐like junction exists between these two tissues. The tendon cell contains huge amounts of microtubules aligned parallel to the long axis of the inserting muscle. Tension exerted by contracting muscles is conveyed to the chitinous exoskeleton via the specially organized tendon cells and the extensive myo‐tendinal cell junctions.

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a main trigger substance for the development of septic shock and multiple organ failure. We showed by turbidity measurements that LPS inhibits microtubule formation in a pH‐dependent manner. Inhibition was found to be not only due to sequestration of MAP2 by LPS, but also
