Distribution of PrPC in the human trabecular meshwork. (a) Immunoreaction of human TM section with PrP-specific antibody 3F4 followed by Alexa fluor 546-conjugated secondary antibody shows strong reactivity in all layers of the TM (panel 1). High magnification image demonstrates expression of PrPC on the plasma membrane of TM cells (panel 2). A serial section reacted with mouse IgG and Alexa fluor 546-conjugated secondary antibody shows no reaction (panel 3). H&E staining of a serial section confirms the TM region and Schlemm’s canal (SC) (panel 4). Scale bar: 25 µm. (b) Non-permeabilized primary human TM cells reacted with 3F4 followed by Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated secondary antibody show expression of PrPC on the plasma membrane (panel 1). No reaction is detected in control cells exposed to mouse IgG followed by the same secondary antibody (panel 2). Scale bar: 25 µm.
