Table 2.

Coinjection of the GDNF- and BDNF-vectors supported expression of GDNF and BDNF in the same striatal cells, and these vectors supported neuron-specific expression

Comparison
Numbers of positive cells
First IR Second IR First IR Second IR % Costained
GDNF BDNF 242 230 95
GDNF NeuN 252 226 90
BDNF NeuN 221 200 91

Immunofluorescent costaining using antibodies to the indicated proteins was performed on sections that contained the striatum from rats sacrificed at 7 months after microinjection of the GDNF-vector, or the BDNF-vector, or a mixture of the GDNF- and BDNF-vectors. The positive cells were counted in 4 randomly chosen sections from each rat.
