    Figure Lengend Snippet: Co-localization of A 1 R and P2Y 2 R . A-C . Confocal images of double immunostained Myc-P2Y 2 R (A; green), HA-A 1 R (B; red), and their merge (C; yellow) in co-transfected HEK293T cells. The co-localization of HA-A 1 R and Myc-P2Y 2 R is evident at the cell surface membrane (small arrow). D-L . Confocal images of double immunofluorescence staining in several rat brain regions. P2Y 2 R (D, G, J; red) and A 1 R (E, H, K; green) immunoreactivities were detected in Purkinje cells (D-F), cerebellar nuclei (G-I), and hippocampal CA3 pyramidal cells (J-L). Co-localizations of A 1 R and P2Y 2 R (F, I, L; yellow) were detected in the soma (large arrows) of all tissues, in dendrites of the Purkinje cells, and in neurons of the cerebellar nuclei (arrowheads). Yellow bar indicates 500 μm (A-C) and white bar indicates 100 μm (D-L). Mol: cerebellar molecular layer, Gr: cerebellar granule cell layer. Fluorescent images were collected via confocal laser scanning microscopy (Zeiss LSM410, Carl Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany) each 10-μm optical slice consisted of a stack of 20 0.5-μm thick sections. Serial optical sections were recorded using an air objective lens of (40×, numerical aperture; 0.6).

    Article Snippet: Cells were washed and then stained with Alexa 568-conjugated goat anti-rat IgG antibody (1:200, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) for A 1 R or Alexa 488-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG antibody (1:200, Invitrogen) for P2Y 2 R. The characterization of antibodies for rat brain sections was previously reported, although the rabbit polyclonal anti-P2Y 2 R antibody (anti-P2Y 2 R; 1 μg/ml, Alomone Labs, Jerusalem, Israel) was used instead of the rabbit polyclonal anti-P2Y 1 R antibody [ , ].

    Co-immunoprecipitation of A 1 R from cerebral cortex (lane 1), cerebellum (lane 2), and hippocampus (lane 3) . Immunoblotting analyses of extracts of rat brain with anti-A 1 R (A), anti-P2Y 2 R (B), and anti-P2Y 2 R with the control peptide of P2Y 2 R (C). Membrane extracts from each region were immunoprecipitated with anti-A 1 R, and analyzed by immunoblotting with anti-P2Y 2 R (D), anti-P2Y 2 R with the control peptide of P2Y 2 R (E), anti-A 1 R (F). No bands were seen in C, E demonstrating the specificity of the antibodies. It was confirmed that immunoprecpitation without primary antibody resulted in no detectable receptor bands in the immunoblotting (data not shown). Approximate molecular masses are shown in kDa.
