Figure 3From: Sodium-calcium exchanger and multiple sodium channel isoforms in intra-epidermal nerve terminals NCX2 expression in dermal nerve bundles and epidermal nerve endings. Small bundles of axons in the dermis subjacent to the epidermis exhibit NCX2 immunolabeling. Virtually all PGP 9.5-positive free nerve endings in the epidermis display NCX2 immunoreactivity. Dashed line indicates the border between epidermis (top) and dermis (bottom). NCX2: red; PGP 9.5: green; merge: yellow. Scale bar, 20 μm.Back to article page
