Figure Lengend Snippet: Dystrophin protein and transcript expression in brain vasculature. Embryonic and foetal choroid plexus and blood vessels stained with DYSA and DYS2 antibodies and hybridised with the RNAscope DMD 5′ and DMD 3′ probes ( a – e ). Adult blood vessels stained with DYSA antibody and processed for RNAscope or Duplex Basescope ( f – i ). Note positive signal detected with duplex Basescope ( Dp427m -green/ Dp71 -red), RNAscope DMD 5′ and DMD 3′ probes, and the DYSA antibody within the tunica media of a medium-sized leptomeningeal artery ( f ) and in a cortical penetrating arteriole ( g ) in the ventromedial prefrontal/orbitofrontal cortex. Note also expression of the Dp71 transcript and DYSA immunoreactivity in the cerebellar cortical parenchymal capillary ( h ) and cerebellar pial–glial membrane (glia limitans) at the cortical surface ( i ). Each red arrow indicates RNAscope or duplex Basescope ( dp71 ) signal (red dots) while green arrows indicate duplex Basescope ( dp427m ) signal (green dots). Scale bars are: f, g, h, i = 25 µm; all other images = 10 µm
