Antibody characterization.

<p>Confocal microscopy images of rat coronal sections through the hippocampus (A, A’) and cerebellum (B, B’, C, C’) showing immunoreactivity to BDNF, NT-3, and NGF in positive controls (A, B and C, respectively) and in their respective blocking peptide-preadsorbed negative controls (A’, B’ and C’). D and D’. Confocal microscopy images of cerebellar coronal sections showing VEGF immunoreactivity in a positive control (D) and a negative control consisting of tissue pre-incubation with normal rabbit IgG instead of VEGF antibody (D’). Scale bars: 50 µm.
