The relationship between GRP, CGRP and VGLUT2 in laminae I-II. a-c, Immunostaining with antibodies against GRP (green), CGRP (blue) and VGLUT2 (red) in a projection of two confocal sections (0.5 μm z-separation). d shows a merged image. At this magnification, the distribution of GRP immunoreactivity resembles that of CGRP, and many profiles are double-labelled (some shown with arrowheads). However, there are also GRP-immunoreactive profiles that lack CGRP and are strongly stained with the VGLUT2 antibody, and three of these are indicated with arrows. Scale bar = 50 μm.
