(A) The cross section of the lamina and the distal part of the medulla of CS immunolabeled with anti-REPO antibody. The staining reveals differences in the intensity of REPO-specific fluorescence in various types of glia. In the lamina cortex (Lc) some glial cells show higher level of fluorescence (arrowheads) than others (asterisks). Fluorescence of the epithelial glia (EGl) in the lamina neuropil (Ln) is more uniform and rather low. The dMnGl show both higher (P1 cell) and lower (P2 cell) levels of REPO-specific fluorescence. Mc-medulla cortex. Scale bar: 5 μm. (B) The P1 and P2 cells of the REPO-positive dMnGl are arranged in almost alternating order. Scale bar: 10 μm. (C) The average level of REPO-specific fluorescence (± SD) of the P1 and P2 dMnGl in CS and Pdf0 (**p < 0.01, ***p < 0.0001). (D) The frontal section of the lamina and the distal part of the medulla of CS labeled with anti-REPO and anti-PER (insert) antibodies. The nuclei of REPO-P1 cells (in the main picture, arrowheads) show strong PER-specific fluorescence (insert, arrowheads). The REPO- P2 cells (in the main picture, arrows) reveal weak or no PER-specific fluorescence (insert, arrows). R, retina; Lc, lamina cortex; Ln, lamina neuropil; EGl, the epithelial glia of the lamina; Mc, medulla cortex; Mn, medulla neuropil. Scale bar: 20 μm.
