Annotation description:Fig2A-B: Human anti-EEA1 (blue) and mouse anti-synaptophysin antibodies (yellow) display distinct immunoreactivity in the CA3 field of the hippocampus. Antibodies against early endosome marker protein EEA1 produce a characteristic vesicular staining pattern in CA3 cell bodies and dendrites and do not co-localize with synaptophysin antibodies, which label the presynaptic nerve terminals but rather are in close proximity of Synaptophysin puncta (inset).

Fig 2C: Majority of EEA1 puncta (blue) colocalise with PSD-95 (yellow) on cultured hippocampal neurons.

Figure 1: Independent antibody validation was performed to verify the specificity of the human-anti-EEA1 used in the study. Confocal images showed the co-localization of human anti-EEA1 (blue) and mouse monoclonal (yellow) anti-EEA1 antibodies in cultured COS-7 cells.
