Table I. Syd association with membranes is increased by sciatic nerve ligation.
Nerve axoplasm | Labeling | Membrane-bound gold particles/total gold |
---|---|---|
Proximal | syd labeling | 92.9% (522 out of 562) |
control | 35.3% (6 out of 17) | |
Distal | syd labeling | 85.3% (133 out of 156) |
control | 33.3% (5 out of 15) | |
Unligated | syd labeling | 51.4% (19 out of 37) |
control | 27.3% (3 out of 11) |
Sciatic nerve ligation was performed as in Fig. 3. Nerves were dissected and processed for immunoelectron microscopy. Staining and counting was performed as described in Fig. 3 D. The percentage of the membrane-bound label, i.e., gold particles within a distance of 15 nm or less from the closest membrane profile, was determined.
