| Annotation description: | Figure 3A-B: immunoEM shows labelling with the VAMP2 antibody in both the PSD and in scattered postsynaptic vesicles. The small postsynaptic vesicles were located deeply within the postsynaptic cytoplasm or adjacent to the plasma membrane, both at the PSD and lateral plasma membrane. Clusters of a few VAMP2 positive vesicles were often seen at the plasma membrane close to the PSD Figure 4: confocal images of immunolabeled dissociated rat hippocampal cultures Figure 4A-C: Immunolabeling showed punctate staining with anti-VAMP2 along neuronal dendrites. Figure 4D-4F: VAMP2 colocalized with presynaptic vesicle marker, synaptophysin Figure 4G-4I: VAMP2 colocalized with PSD95 Antibody specificity control using KD in figure 1. |
