Figure 4

Immune-electronmicroscopy of cortactin in spines of distal PC branchlets. (A–C) Robust postsynaptic DAB reaction product (blue pseudo-color) in Purkinje-cell dendrites (d), and spines (*) (parallel fiber terminals (PFt) seen in orange pseudo-color). Arrowheads point to accumulated patches of immunoperoxidase reaction product at submembrane regions. (D1–4) Immunogold label coding for cortactin. Dendritic spines of PCs (blue pseudo-color); cortactin-coding immunogold particles may be seen in the periphery of spines associated with synaptic membranes, non-synaptic membranes, and submembrane spinoplasm (arrowheads). (E,F) Immunogold particles coding for synaptophysin (E) may be seen labelling presynaptic terminals. In contrast, PSD-95 (F) label is restricted to the postsynaptic density of PC spines. Scale bar: (A): 500 nm, and (B–F): 250 nm.
