Figure Lengend Snippet: A. Representative Pinceaux staining showing a PC Soma (green, calbindin) along with the characteristic pinceaux formation on the axon side (red, CB1R) in both genotypes. B. Quantification of average CB1R pinceaux intensity across both genotypes and slide sets (VGAT, VGLUT1, VGLUT2). C. Same as B, but area of pinceaux. D-F. Proportion of CB1R puncta that colocalize with the respective vesicular marker before and after a 100 pixel shift of the CB1R channel along the X axis.
Article Snippet: Slides were incubated for 48 hours at 4°C under agitation with the following primary antibodies in blocking buffer: calbindin (1:3000, Sigma-Aldrich, Cat# C9848), CB1R (1:1000, Cayman Chemical Company, Cat# 10006590), and one of the following vesicular transporters - VGAT (1:250, Synaptic Systems, Cat# 131004), VGLUT2 (1:500, Synaptic Systems, Cat# 135418), or VGLUT1 (1:5000, Synaptic Systems, Cat# 135304).
