Immunostaining for podoplanin, P- and N-cadherin of the lateral ventricle. (A) Immunostaining for podoplanin and P-cadherin. The immunostained sections were re-stained by the H-E staining which shows corpus callosum (CC), caudate nucleus (CN), and fimbria hippocampus (FH). Bottom figures represent the region highlighted by the box. The fluorescence with anti-podoplanin (arrowheads) is found on ependymal cells and choroid plexus epithelia. The fluorescence with anti-P-cadherin (arrow) is found inside the choroid plexus. The anti-podoplanin-positive region did not coincide with the region with which anti-P-cadherin reacted in the merged images. Bar: 100 μm. (B) Immunostaining for podoplanin and N-cadherin on the section adjacent to (A). The fluorescence with anti-N-cadherin (arrow) is found on lateral ventricle ependymal cells at the region where anti-podoplanin reacted (arrowheads), but not found on choroid plexus epithelia in the merged images. Bar: 100 μm.
