Grpr-Cre–expressing neurons in the spinal cord are primarily excitatory. Immunohistological analysis of transverse sections of tdTomato;Grpr-Cre mouse spinal cord. (A-C) Adult lumbar spinal cord stained for IB4 (green), which marks inner lamina II. (D-F) Labeling of adult lumbar spinal cord with NeuN (green) revealed that most (97%) Grpr-Cre–positive cells are NeuN positive. (G-I) Postnatal (P4) spinal cord showing Grpr-Cre (G) and Viaat-egfp (H) expression in the spinal cord dorsal horn. (J-L) Adult dorsal spinal cord labeled for Grpr-Cre and Pax2 (green). Scale bars, 100 μm. The arrowheads highlight examples of coexpression.
