Figure 6. ETX binds specifically to retinal vessels and myelin.

Figure 6

A) Frozen sections of adult mouse retina were stained with pan-vessel marker FITC labeled BSL1 (green) and Alexa 594 labeled ETX (red). A merge and enlargement of the white boxes show co-labeling of a retinal vessel. B) Fixed frozen coronal sections from adult mouse brain through the corpus callosum were stained for proteolipid protein (PLP, green), and Alexa 594-ETX (red). Intense staining with ETX is observed in all PLP-positive white matter tracts. Merged PLP and ETX images reveal essentially complete overlapping fluorescent signal. Bar = 500 µm.
