Viral vector-mediated reporter gene expression in striatum. (A) Confocal image of brain sections stained with antibodies against Cre (magenta) and GFP (Green). The ROSA26/CAG-floxed STOP-ChRFR(C167A)-Venus BAC actuator/reporter rat was injected with AAV2-Cre in its striatum. (B) Localization of Cre-immunoreactive nuclei (magenta) and Venus immunoreactivity (green) in neurons at striatum. (C) Orthogonal view on the brain image stack of a neuron which has Cre-positive nucleus. Note that Venus accumulated in the plasma membrane and did not merge with the Cre signals.
