The follicle cells of Drosophila melanogaster eggs secrete a waxy (hydrophobic) material in the form of lipid vesicles in a special way of secretion. The lipid vesicles maintain their shape after their exit from the epithelial cells, and the accumulation of that material on the extracellular region takes the form of wax plaques creating a hydrophobic layer sealing the oocyte.
