Figure 6. α-synuclein staining in the submucous plexus of PD patients and controls.
Top and bottom rows show three single slice confocal and deconvolved images of a representative immunofluorescent staining in the submucous plexus of a control (top) and PD patient (bottom) stained for the pan-neuronal marker HuCD (green) and α-synuclein (magenta). A neuronal fiber staining (yellow: NF200 in bottom and peripherin in top row) was added to help delineating the submucous ganglion. No differences in α-synuclein staining patterns in PD patients and controls could be detected. Bars: 10 µm.
