Dorsal root entry zone access by transported agents. Section of spinal cord showing retrogradely transported NGF-TR (Nerve Growth Factor - Texas Red) in the dorsal horn. (a+b) The ipsilateral and contralateral dorsal horn viewed using darkfield microscopy. (c+d) The same fields as in a+b viewed using fluorescence microscopy. The arrow heads delineate the area of DREZ lamina I and II where the proximal axons of the dorsal root ganglia cells terminate on nociceptor neurons. Scale bars = 120 μm.
