Fig 4. Phenotyping of Tg-/- mice.

Fig 4

(A) Brain. HES staining. Coronal section from Tg-/- mouse displaying one vacuolated neuron in the lateral vestibular nucleus, indicated by an arrow (scale bar = 100 μm) (B) Nerve root from the lumbar spinal cord. Electron micrograph. Longitudinal section from Tg-/- mouse; note the macrophage containing lipid debris, indicated by an arrow (scale bar = 2 μm). (C) Sciatic nerve, distal part. Electron micrograph. Transversal sections from WT and Tg-/- mice. Axon diameter and myelin sheath are comparable (scale bar = 10 μm). (D) Optic nerves. Electron micrograph. Longitudinal sections from WT and Tg-/- mice. There are no significant quantitative or qualitative differences between mitochondria of WT and Tg-/- mice (scale bar = 1 μm). Arrowheads indicate mitochondria.
