Article Title: Identification of Sensory Fiber Types in Mouse Temporomandibular Joint Tissues
doi: 10.1101/2025.05.15.654333
Figure Lengend Snippet: The left column shows pgp9.5-positive fibers (all sensory fibers), the middle column shows α-SMA-positive (blood vessel) cells and the right column shows relative locations of pgp9.5 and α-SMA-positive cells in the mouse joint capsule, articular disc, anterior disc and retrodiscal tissues. Pictures from the joint capsule, articular disc, anterior disc and retrodiscal tissues as well as antibodies used and corresponding colors are indicated. Yellow arrows show pgp9.5 + fibers in vicinity of α-SMA + blood vessels, and white arrows show pgp9.5 + fibers distanced from α-SMA + blood vessels.
Article Snippet: The following well-characterized primary antibodies were used on mouse tissue sections: anti-neurofilament heavy chain (NFH) chicken polyclonal antibodies (BioLegend, catalog #PCK-592P, 1:300) ; anti-pgp9.5 (Millipore-Sigma, catalog #AB1761-I, 1:400) ; anti-CGRP rabbit polyclonal (Sigma, C8198, 1:300) – ; anti-tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) rabbit polyclonal (Pel-Freez; Rogers, AR; P40101; 1:400) , ; and anti-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) Cy3-conjugated mouse monoclonal antibody (Sigma, C6198, 1:200) , .
