c-Myc- and Max- like proteins in the SON. A, c-Myc- and Max-like immunoreactivities are found in the SON of both control and dehydrated rats. c-Myc staining is both nuclear and cytosolic, whereas Max is mainly nuclear. DAPI nuclear labeling is revealed in blue. The scale bar is 50 μm. Insets show close up views of representative neurons. B, Immunocytochemistry reveals c-Myc-like and Max-like material in both AVP and OT cells of control and dehydrated SON. Antibody binding to c-Myc-like and Max-like antigens was detected with Alexa Fluor 594 (red). AVP or OT was detected with Alexa Fluor 488 (green). DAPI nuclear labeling is revealed in blue.
