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). |
