Detected misSOD1 immunostaining patterns MisSOD1 immunostaining patterns detected in SALS individuals were (a) Diffuse misSOD1 staining in the cytoplasm of motor neurons (immunostaining pattern 1). Note that different misSOD1 immunosignal intensity levels were detected. As misSOD1-positive motor neurons can be detected beside misSOD1-negative motor neurons on the same tissue section, it is unlikely that the observed misSOD1 accumulation represents a false-positive signal (b) misSOD1-positive deposits detecetd in the cytoplasm of motor neurons (immunostaining pattern 2) (c) Dendritic and axonal misSOD1 accumulation (immunostaining pattern 3) (d) MisSOD1-positive perivacuolar ring-like structures (immunostaining pattern 4) (e) MisSOD1 nuclear accumulation (immunostaining pattern 5) and (f) misSDO1-negative immunostaining observed in non-neurological control. Scale bars are presented in the lower right corner for each detected immunostaining patterns.
