Figure 3. Functional measures of the BBB integrity in X. laevis tadpoles.

Figure 3

Outbred pre-metamorphic uninfected tadpoles were injected in the brain with (A) 1 μg/mL (10 μL) NaF only or (C) NaF plus 1.36 M (5 μL) mannitol. Alternatively, tadpoles were injected in the intraperitoneal cavity with (D) NaF only or (D) NaF plus mannitol. Data shown are representative of 15–20 individuals. Diffusion of the tracer NaF was visualized by fluorescence microscopy as described in Fig. 2. MB, midbrain; Ob, olfactory bulb; Otl, otolift.
