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.
Expression of the fluorescent protein was assessed by infecting CAD neurons with baculoviruses and performing immunofluorescence studies.
Transport into axons was determined by imaging CAD neuron axons following infection with baculoviruses.
CAD neurons expressing these fluorescent proteins were imaged to determine whether there was punctate or diffuse fluorescence in axons.
NA, not applicable.
