doi: 10.3390/biom15111523
Figure Lengend Snippet: Immunofluorescence-based detection of P2X7r ( a – d ) and pannexin 1 ( e – h ) in the human carotid body. Cells displaying P2X7r immunofluorescence (green fluorescence in ( a )) and pannexin 1 immunofluorescence (green fluorescence in ( e )) form a dense meshwork throughout glomic glomeruli consistent with their presence in type II cells. Type I cells showed strong immunofluorescence for SYN (red fluorescence in ( b , f )). Merger (yellow fluorescence) of P2X7r ( c , d ) or pannexin 1 ( g , h ) with SYN, showing cell segregation. The occasional merger of P2X7r and pannexin 1 and SYN was found in disperse drops (yellow arrows). Scale bar is the same for ( a – c , e – g ); scale bar is the same for ( d , h ). Objective: 20×/0.75 oil; pinhole: 1; XY resolution: 156 nm; and Z resolution: 334 nm.
