Figure 3. Confocal images show that the CL4 QD–Palm1 complex is neuron specific.

Figure 3

We utilized cell-specific staining (green, described in the Experimental section) to determine if the QDs (red) were distributing to other common organelles found in our slice culture system and found no trafficking to astrocytes (A,D), microglia (B,E) or oligodendrocytes (C,F). This confirms that our QD–Palm1 complex is targeting neurons specifically in a complex in vitro system. Scale bars in (A–C) are 20 μm, (D–F) are 10 μm.
