The top panel shows co-localization of the Cx52.9 (green) antibody and GluR2-IR (red). GluR2 labels the tips of horizontal cell dendrites. This co-localization shows that Cx52.9 is present at the horizontal cell dendrites. Middle panel: Double labeling of Cx52.9 (green) and Cx55.5 (red). Red, green, and yellow plaques can be found, indicating that in some (parts) of the gap-junctions Cx55.5 co-localizes with Cx52.9. The bottom panel shows that there is co-localization of Cx52.6 (red) and Cx52.9 (green). Also for this combination, areas of co-expression of the two connexins can be found. This means that the three connexins co-localize in gap-junctions between horizontal cells. Scale bar = 10 µm (top panel). Scale bar = 5 µm (middle and bottom panel).
