Figure 2

Fluorescence images of Na,K-ATPase alpha-3 and CGRP in meninges. In the top row, Na,K-ATPase alpha-3 is labeled with fluorescein in the left, CGRP is visualized with Texas red, nuclei are DAPI-stained, and the merged image is on the right. The large arrow indicates a capillary and the arrowhead triplet indicate a trigeminal nerve. The lower horizontal images are negative controls when no primary antibody was used. The notable finding is that Na,K-ATPase alpha-3 is expressed at the nerve fiber, not on the capillary. Scale bar = 10 μm.
