Figure 1. Overview of AQP0 immunolabelling pattern in rodent lenses.

Figure 1

Equatorial cryosections from rodent lenses labelled with antibodies directed against the C terminus of AQP0. (A) Expression pattern of AQP0 in a 21 day-old Wistar rat labelled with the IIIp11 antibody. The expression pattern changes radially from lens cortex to core. (B) Left panel: The concentric ring pattern is not an artefact, as seen by the cut lens fixation control of AQP0 labelling using the Alpha Diagnostic International (ADI) AQP0 antibody that produced an identical pattern to (A). Right panel: Labelling of the lens core with antibodies to MP20. (C) ADI AQP0 antibody labelling in a 21 day-old mouse lens, showing the same pattern as in the rat lens (A). Scale bar = 500 μm.
