Fig. 4From: Pirt contributes to uterine contraction-induced pain in miceThe neurochemical properties of Dil-labeled DRG neurons. a–c Dil-labeled cells did not colocalize with NF-200. Dil-labeled cells and NF-200-expressing cells are indicated by white and yellow arrows, respectively. Dil-labeled DRG neurons colocalized with IB4 (d–f) and Pirt (g–i). j–l DRG section including Pirt-positive and Dil-labeled neurons was immunostained by TRPV1. m A merged image of Dil-labeled, Pirt-positive and TRPV1-staining neurons. The white arrows designate double-labeled cells. Pirt expression was assessed by fluorescence microscopy in Pirt−/− mice, in which the entire Pirt-coding region has been replaced with an EGFPf-IRESrtTA-ACN-targeting construct.
