Figure 3. Cdh23 is expressed
in GABAergic amacrine cells. In situ hybridization of cdh23
was combined with immunocytochemistry for various amacrine cell
markers. In each row of images, the left panel shows retinal
slices labeled with the cdh23 mRNA (mRNA) probe, the
center panel shows fluorescent immunostaining, and the right
panel shows an overlay of the in situ hybridization and the
immunofluorescence images. A: cdh23-positive
retinal cells colabel with the pan-amacrine cell antibody 5E11.
B: cdh23-positive amacrine cells also colocalize
with an antibody to the GABAergic cell marker glutamate
decarboxylase 65/67 (GAD65/67). C, D: Neither
serotonin-positive nor tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-positive
amacrine cells colabel with cdh23 mRNA. Scale bar, 20
µm.
