Annotation description:Immunogold-electronmicroscopy shows goldparticles within dendritic spines and in the synaptic cleft (ticket #4931) (Fig. 2Q-V). "Within MMP-9 - immunoreactive spines, immunogold particles were present mainly in the spine head, frequently being located adjacent to, or within, postsynaptic densities (PSD) of axospinous (excitatory) synapses (Fig. 2, Q, R, T, and U)."

Fig. 3L,M shows massively enhanced MMP9 immunoreativity in spines 72hrs after treatment with kainate.
