Cellular distribution of VGluT3, EAAT2 and EAAT3 in the rat CB. A Double immunofluorescence staining of VGluT3 (red) and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH, green) in rat CB (a-c1). B Double immunofluorescence staining of VGluT3 (red) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP, green) in rat CB (d-f1). C Double immunofluorescence staining of EAAT2 (green) and TH (red) in rat CB (g-i1). D Double immunofluorescence staining of EAAT2 (green) and GFAP (red) in rat CB (j-l1). E Double immunofluorescence staining of EAAT3 (green) and TH (red) in rat CB (m-o1). F Double immunofluorescence staining of EAAT3 (green) and GFAP (red) in rat CB (p-r1). a1-r1 are higher magnifications images of rectangle areas in a-c, respectively. TH: the CB type I cells marker; GFAP: the CB type II cells marker; VGluT: vesicular glutamate transporter; EAAT: excitatory amino acid transporter. Scale bar = 25 μm for all images
