Figure 1. Axons are exclusively present in the side compartments of compartmentalized cultures.

Figure 1

(A–B) Immunofluorescence revealed that dendrites (MAP2-positive structures) were less abundant than axons and extended only a short distance from somas. (C) Immunoblotting of lysates from cell bodies and distal axons revealed that MAP2 protein was not present the distal axon compartment, in contrast to Tau that was highly enriched in distal axons, relative to actin. (D) The relative abundance of MAP2 protein declined over time in culture.
