Fig. 11. A–G: XIF3 immunostaining in central nervous system radial glia and peripheral axons. A, C, and D show progressively more caudal transverse sections through juvenile frog spinal cord at lower magnification. XIF3 immunostaining was abundant in radially oriented processes extending from cell bodies in the central field to end feet at the pial surface. B: Examples of XIF3 immunostaining in scattered axons of the dorsal root (arrowheads) and adjacent spinal cord glial end feet at higher magnification (from A). E: XIF3 immunoreactivity in radial glia from the dorsal column in C shown at higher magnification. Arrowheads and arrows point to corresponding examples of glial cell bodies and end feet at the pial surface (p), respectively. F: XIF3-immunoreactive axons in a cranial nerve. G: XIF3-immunoreactive cell bodies (arrowheads) and proximal axonal segments from the dorsal root ganglion in D. cf, Central field; g, gray matter; w, white matter; p, pial surface; dr, dorsal root; drg, dorsal root ganglion. Scale bars 5 300 mm in D (also applies to A,C), 50 mm in F, 100 mm in G (also applies to B,E). Image published in: Gervasi C et al. (2000) Copyright © 2000.
