Immunohistochemistry of a section from the circumvallate papilla of a T1r3-WGA-IRES-GFP transgenic mouse.a. Section immunostained with a T1r3 antibody (Cy3 fluorescence, red) and visualized for intrinsic fluorescence of the GFP transgene (green). Endogenous T1r3 and the GFP transgene are co-expressed in the same subset of taste cells. b. Confocal image of a section from the circumvallate papilla of a T1r3-WGA-IRES-GFP transgenic mouse, immunostained with a WGA antibody (Cy3 fluorescence, red) and visualized for intrinsic GFP fluorescence (green). WGA and GFP are co-expressed in the same subset of taste receptor cells. c. Higher magnification of rightmost panel of b., showing labeling of nerve fibers (arrows).
