Figure 5. Collagen VI detection in adult mouse brain. Immunofluorescence for collagen VI on brain sections of wild-type and Col6a1−/− adult mice. Labelling for collagen VI is detectable in different regions, in particular in corpus callosum, within the hippocampus and along meninges. Nuclei were stained with Hoechst (blue). Scale bar in panels, 40 μm; scale bar in insets, 15 μm. DG-mo, dentate gyrus, molecular layer; DG-sg, dentate gyrus, granule cell layer; M, meningis; WT, wild-type.
