Selective expression of GDNF in ChAT- and SS-positive GABAergic interneurons of adult striatum. A, B, Striatal coronal sections from GDNF-LacZ mouse showing GDNF expression (X-gal, blue dots indicated by arrowheads) in ChAT+ interneurons. B, Confocal microscopy Z-stacks analysis of ChAT+ interneurons. Arrowhead indicates the X-gal precipitate. C–F, Striatal coronal sections from GDNF-LacZ mouse showing GDNF expression (X-gal, blue dots) in SS+ (C, D) but not in CR+ (E) or CB+ (F) GABAergic interneurons. D, Confocal microscopy Z-stacks analysis of SS+ interneurons. Arrowheads indicate the X-gal precipitate. Scale bars, 10 μm.
