Fig. 8. Mtg8 is required for specification of cortical SST-NPY interneuron subsets.

a Immunohistochemistry detecting co-expression of CR/YFP or nNOS/SST/YFP or NPY/SST/YFP in the somatosensory cortex in control animals at P40. Arrowheads point to double-labelled cells for CR/YFP and triple-labelled cells for nNOS/SST/YFP and NPY/SST/YFP. Arrows point to double-labelled SST/YFP cells. be Quantification of the above co-expression profiles in control and Mtg8 cKO animals. In the absence of MTG8 there is a significant reduction of SST interneurons co-expressing NPY. All other SST subtypes examined remain unaffected. CR+YFP+ n = 3 brains per genotype. nNOS+SST+YFP+, NPY+SST+YFP+ and NPY-SST+YFP+ n = 4 brains per genotype. Two-tailed unpaired t tests. **P = 0.0064. All graphs show mean ± SEM. Source data are provided as a Source Data file. Scale bar 130 μm.
