Table 2.

Specificity of immunocytochemistry.

Antibodies Spots Spots within 1 μm (co-label) % co-label
PSD-95 within cell n = 4 52.7 ± 13.9 7.5 ± 2.9 (GABA α1 co-label) 14.2
GABA-A α1 within cell n = 4 209.3 ± 55.4 12 ± 2.7 (PSD-95 co-label) 5.7
VGLUT2 within 1 μm of cell n = 3 466 ± 107.7 49 ± 26 (VGAT co-label) 10.5
VGAT within 1 μm of cell n = 3 473.4 ± 139 62.3 ± 26.1 (VGLUT2 co-label) 13.2

Table show spots of excitatory (PSD-95) and inhibitory (GABA-A α1) post-synaptic specializations within the same Neurobiotin-filled neuron somas and the number of spots of each synapse type within 1 μm of each other. Also shown are spots of excitatory (VGLUT2) and inhibitory (VGAT) pre-synaptic specializations within 1 μm of Neurobiotin-filled neuron somas and the number of spots of each synapse type within 1 μm of each other. Data presented as mean ± SEM.
