Distribution of NaX immunostaining in the subfornical organ of the rat. (A) Schematic illustration of the subfornical organ (SFO) in the rat brain. The SFO appears in red for better visualization. cc, corpus callosum; CPu, caudate putamen; fi, fimbria hippocampus; ic, internal capsule; LV, lateral ventricle; 3V, third ventricle. (B) Representative picture of the fluorescent NaX immunostaining (green) was obtained from the rat. The cell type expressing NaX was identified using anti-NeuN, anti-GFAP, and anti-vimentin fluorescent immunostaining (red); scale bars: 50 μm. (C) Inset representing high magnification area of the SFO; scale bar: 20 μm. The enlarged zone is pointed by the arrow head (top-left corner of the inset). NaX staining is present in NeuN positive cells in the core of the SFO and in vimentin positive cells in the cell layer boarding the third ventricle.
