Fig 15. Slit2, Slit3 and Robo1 expression in the cell bodies of non-myelinating Schwann cells.

Fig 15

Higher magnification images from Fig 13 show the expression of Slit2, Slit3 and Robo1 in non-myelinating Schwann cells. Non-myelinating Schwann cells in the PLP-GFP mouse nerve could be easily distinguished by the morphology of Remak bundles via the GFP signal (A-C). Slit2 (A), Slit3 (B) and Robo1 (C) expression in non-myelinating Schwann cells was observed (indicated by white arrows). Slit2 and Robo1 staining appeared stronger in the small diameter axons of the Remak bundle rather than the non-myelinating Schwann cells. Slit3 showed strong expression in non-myelinating Schwann cells.
