a

APP, amyloid precursor protein; BDNF, brain-derived neurotrophic factor; SNAP25, synaptosome-associated protein (25 kDa); VAMP1, vesicle-associated membrane protein (synaptobrevin 1); LRP8, low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 8; NDEL1, nuclear distribution protein nudE-like; PRP, prion protein; GAP-43, growth-associated protein; TGOLN-2, trans-Golgi network protein 2; LAMP2, lysosome-associated membrane glycoprotein 2; TfnR, transferrin receptor; CgA, chromagranin A; SYP, synaptophysin; NTRK, neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor type 1; Rab5a, Ras-related protein Rab-5a; Rab7a, Ras-related protein Rab-7a.

b

Expression of the fluorescent protein was assessed by infecting CAD neurons with baculoviruses and performing immunofluorescence studies.

c

Transport into axons was determined by imaging CAD neuron axons following infection with baculoviruses.

d

CAD neurons expressing these fluorescent proteins were imaged to determine whether there was punctate or diffuse fluorescence in axons.

e

NA, not applicable.
