Figure 7. Analysis of the selectivity of expression of EGFP in MCNs in the SON after injections of rAAVs containing the 116 bp promoter deletion construct.

Figure 7

Panels A and D illustrate the EGFP immunoreactivity (EGFP-ir) only, B shows the Avp marker (PS41-ir) only, E shows the Oxt marker (PS38-ir) only. The merged views of the EGFP-ir with either the Avp marker (PS41-ir in C) or the Oxt marker (PS38-ir in F) are shown. Examples of MCNs with colocalized EGFP-ir and PS38-ir or PS41-ir are depicted by yellow arrows and the white arrows show cells containing EGFP-ir only. The EGFP-ir was detected using 33 second photographic exposures as shown in Fig. 5. Scale bar in panel A is 100 µm, and is the same for all the panels. Abbreviations: OC, optic chiasm.
