| Annotation description: | Fig.3: "Electron and light photomicrographs of PP1 immunoreactivity in the caudatoputamen. (A and B) Electron micrographs of immunoreactivity for PPla in the caudatoputamen. (A) Robust immunoreactivity for PP1a is present in dendritic spine heads (S). Weak immunoreactivity is present in dendritic shafts (D). Some axon terminals are also immunoreactive (AT). (Inset) The postsynaptic density (PSD; arrowhead) in the dendrite (D) is labeled." - "At the electron microscopic level, dendritic spine heads and spine necks were strongly immunoreactive (Fig. 3 A and B). Immunoreactivity was also observed in PSDs, but this immunoreactivity must be interpreted with caution, since immunoreaction product generated elsewhere in the spine could diffuse to the PSD and become fixed to it during osmication." - Note: the authors do only show the data from PPP1CA, but state: "Similar images are observed for PPlgamma1 (not shown)." |
