Distribution of ACE2 along the olfactory retrograde route. A Schematic elucidation of a gross view of mouse olfactory retrograde route comprised by OB surface, SEZ/RC, SEZ in the rostral migratory stream (SEZ/RMS) and SVZ of the LV (top panel) and a microscopic view of SEZ/RC and SEZ/RMS (bottom panel). B–E Co-staining of ACE2 (green) with astrocyte marker GFAP (red) in SEZ/RC and SEZ/RMS. B-C show the low magnitude images. D–E show the enlarged images of the indicated regions in B and C, respectively. DAPI (blue) was used for nuclear staining. Arrow: indicates astrocyte. Dash arrow: indicates neuroblast. Arrowhead: indicates microvessel. The dash lines in all images outline the border of SEZ/RC and SEZ/RMS, respectively. Image magnitude B-C: 20X, D-E: 100X
