Fig. 6. VIP and ChAT are co-expressed in sympathetic ganglion neurons at cervical and thoracic levels at E18. Double in situ hybridization on sections of wild-type E18 chick embryos, using cRNA probes against ChAT (A,C, red) and VIP (B,D, blue) demonstrates co-expression of ChAT and VIP at cervical (A,B) and thoracic (C,D) levels in sympathetic ganglion neurons. Please note that there are no ChAT-expressing cells (red) devoid of VIP expression. Scale bar: 50 µm (cervical); 100 µm (thoracic).
