Fig. 3From: Functional glutamate transporters are expressed in the carotid chemoreceptorImmunohistochemical staining of VGluT3, EAAT2 and EAAT3 in the rat CB. Immunohistochemical staining showing the location of VGluT3 (A1–2), EAAT2 (B1–2) and EAAT3 (C1–2) in rat CB. D1-D2 are negative staining control obtained by omitting the primary antibody. A2-D2 are higher magnifications images of rectangle areas in A1-D1, respectively. The brown staining represents the glutamate transporter, while the blue staining represents hematoxylin-stained cell nuclei. VGluT: vesicular glutamate transporter; EAAT: excitatory amino acid transporter. Scale Bar = 50 μm for all imagesBack to article page
