Figure 5

Somatic expression of Nav1.3 and Nav1.7 occurs in mature OSNs. Colocalization of Nav1.3, GAP43, and Nav1.7 in the olfactory epithelium of a P7 OMP-GFP mouse (endogenous fluorescence, green). (A) Single fluorescence images for Nav1.3 (red), OMP-GFP (green), and GAP43 (blue). (B) Magnified merge of the images in (A) shows that Nav1.3 colocalizes with OMP-GFP (arrows) in mature OSN somata located in the apical layer (dotted line). Occasionally, triple-labeled OSNs, positive for Nav1.3, OMP-GFP, and GAP43 were detected (asterisk). (C) Colocalization of Nav1.3 (red) and Nav1.7 (blue) in OMP-GFP+ OSNs (asterisks) intermingle with singly, OMP-GFP labeled OSNs (arrowhead). Images are representatives of (n = 2) mice with n ≥ 10 sections per mouse. Scale bars, 20 μm.
