Sox2 −/− Merkel cells are capable of synaptic processes. (A–B) Transmission electron micrographs of K14CreSox2fl/− and K14CreSox2fl/fl back skin sections, showing synaptic vesicles. (C–J) Confocal images of back skin sections from K14CreSox2fl/− and K14CreSox2fl/fl mice immunostained with antibodies to VGLUT-2, piccolo, Rab3c or Cav2.1 and K8, counterstained with DAPI. (K–R) Confocal images of whisker pad sections from K14CreSox2fl/− and K14CreSox2fl/fl mice immunostained with antibodies to VGLUT-2, piccolo, Rab3c or synapsin II and K8, counterstained with DAPI. Scale bars: 50 μm (K–R); 25 μm (C–J); 500 nm (A, B).
