Z-series images of Kir2.1-overexpressing mitral cells and glutamatergic synapses in P6 mouse olfactory bulb
Description
Z-series images of mitral cells and post synapses in P6 mouse olfactory bulb with overexpression of Kir2.1. By using in utero electroporation, the authors electroporated a Cre-dependent tdTomato plasmid (pCALNL-tdTomato) and a small amount of Cre plasmid (pCAG-Cre) at E12 to label a subset of mitral cells sparsely. pCALNL-Kir2.1 was also elactroporated to overexpress Kir2.1, and reduce the activity of mitral cells. PSD d1.2-GFP was also expressed to visualize glutamatergic synapses.
