Figure 3.
Acid-sensing ion channel 1 (ASIC1), TASK1 and TASK3 are expressed and colocalized in the VLM neurons of adult rats. (A) Representative confocal photomicrographs showing the colocalization of ASIC1-ir (green), TASK1-ir (red) and neurofilament-H (blue) in the VLM. (B) Representative high power visual field of the area shown in (A). (C) Representative confocal photomicrographs showing the colocalization of ASIC1-ir (green), TASK3-ir (red) and neurofilament-H (blue) in the VLM. (D) Representative high power visual field of the area shown in (C). (A–C) Scale bar = 200 μm; (B,D) scale bar = 20 μm.
