Expression of PKCδ in mouse brain.
A
,
B
, Immunoperoxidase staining for PKCδ immunoreactivity in sagittal brain sections from PKCδ+/+ (
A
) and PKCδ−/− (
B
) mice.
C–E
, High-power micrographs of (
C
) thalamus, (
D
) thalamocortical fibers in layer IV of cerebral cortex, and (
E
) cerebellar cortex from a PKCδ+/+ mouse. ML, Molecular layer; GCL, granule cell layer.
F
,
G
, PKCδ immunoreactivity was moderate in cell bodies of pyramidal neurons, dentate gyrus granule cells and molecular layer interneurons of the hippocampus (
F
), and in the central amygdala (CeA) (
G
).
H
,
I
, Scattered PKCδ immunoreactivity was observed in the caudate–putamen (CPu), but none was observed in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) or the ventral tegmental area (VTA). Scale bars: (in
