Fig 6. Satellite cells in the DRG express Slit2, Slit3 and Robo1.

Fig 6

DRG tissues are from PLP-GFP transgenic mice which express cytoplasmic GFP within the satellite cells. Signals from Slit2-3 and Robo1 staining shows co-localization with GFP-positive satellite cells surrounding the neuronal cell bodies. Lower magnification images show Slit2 (A), Slit3 (C) and Robo1 (E) staining in the whole DRG sections. Higher magnification images show Slit2 (B), Slit3 (D) and Robo1 (F) signals co-localize with the GFP signal in satellite cells. Staining with Hoechst dye (Ho) is also shown (blue) to identify cell nuclei within the tissue.
