Figure 2. Identification of astrocytes by molecular markers.
Astrocytes in the striatum (A–C) and piriform cortex (D–F). A, D, Astrocytes labeled by Tol2-GFP in the striatum and piriform cortex, respectively. Hole-like structure can be seen (A, asterisks). These structures are likely to be occupied by neurons (see below). B, Immmunostaining for aldolase C. E, Immunostaining for S100 beta. C and F are merged views of A and B, and D and E, respectively. Scale bars: 25 μm. The bar in C applies to A–C and that in F applies to D–F.
