Fig. 4. Double labelling of inhibitory motor neurons through combination of
backfilling nerve 6 (A; red fluorescence, Cy3) and anti-GABA
immunocytochemistry (B; green fluorescence, Cy2). (Ai,Bi,Ci) A whole-mount
preparation (anterior is to the top; ganglion midline indicated by dotted
line, backfill labels are contralateral to the side of nerve 6 exit);
(Aii,Bii,Cii) a cross section through the same area of the prothoracic
ganglion in a different animal (ventral is to the top). The overlays in Ci and
Cii show which neurons have acquired both labels (arrowheads indicate the same
cells in AiCi, and AiiCii, respectively). Note that the cell
marked with an asterisk in Ci does not stain for GABA in Bi. It only appears
orange because it is located on top of cells labelled in green. Scale bar, 50
µm.
