Figure 2. Cell-specific localization of mRNA and protein for SNCA in female reproductive tracts during their development.

Cell-specific expression of SNCA mRNA and protein in development of the female reproductive tract was demonstrated by in situ hybridization (A) and immunofluorescence analyses (B). Cell nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). Legend: C, cortex; F, follicle; L, lacunae; LE, luminal epithelium; M, medullar. Scale bar represents 100 µm and 20 µm for first and second horizontal panels of (A) and 50 µm for (B). See Materials and Methods for a complete description of the methods.
