Distribution of EYFP-labelled interneurons and specific co-localization with SOM. (a) Gene elements of the Ai3 Cre-reporter mouse and SOM-Cre-line mouse used in the experiments. (b) Representative examples of specific co-localization of EYFP-labelled neurons (top, green) from a SOM-IRES-Cre:Ai3-EYFP mouse with immunofluorescence for somatostatin (middle, red). Merged images are shown at the bottom. Scale bars, 100 µm. Nearly all of the EYFP-labelled neurons from SOM-IRES-Cre:Ai3-EYFP mice co-localized with somatostatin in MOp, HPF and CP. Abbreviations: MOp, Primary motor area; HPF, Hippocampal formation and CP, Caudoputamen. SOM-positive rates in MOp, HPF and CP were 74.27 ± 1.31% (n = 3), 80.80 ± 1.39% (n = 3) and 77.53 ± 2.19% (n = 3), respectively.
