Fig. 3. ß-III-tubulin (TUJ1) and TH expression in
gp130DBHcre sweat gland innervation. Sections from P60
mouse footpads of control gp130fl/fl and mutant
gp130DBHcre mice were stained for TUJ1 and TH.
(A-C) The expression of TUJ1-IR is not reduced in
gp130DBHcre (B) sweat glands compared with
gp130fl/fl (A). Quantitative analysis of TuJ1-IR is shown
in (C). (D-F) Sweat glands in mutant gp130DBHcre
mice (E) display a slightly stronger TH-IR signal than control tissues do (D),
which is also reflected in the quantitative analysis (F). Data are expressed
as the mean±s.e.m. (n=8-9 for TUJ1; n=3-4 for TH).
The differences between gp130fl/fl and
gp130DBHcre are not significant.
