| Annotation description: | The paper quantitatively describes the distribution of GAT-1 and GAT-3 at the rat cortex using pre-embedding peroxidase labeling and postimbedding immunogold labeling. Figure 3: electron microscopy images of peroxidase-based immunoreactivity in preembedded material of cortical layers 2-3. In figure 3d dendritic labeling is evident. Figure 3H quantifies the fraction of profiles where immunoreactivity was observed in axons or dendrites. Figure 4h-n expands this analysis . In h-m example images of immunoreactivity in axon terminals, perisynaptic astrocytic processes and post-synaptic elements are shown. In figure 4n a quantification of fraction of profiles where immunoreactivity was observed in the above-mentioned cellular compartments, with a further division into symmetric and asymmetric synapses. Taken together, the data supports a postsynaptic localization of GAT-3. |
