Expression Profiles of Branchial FXYD Proteins in the Brackish Medaka Oryzias dancena: A Potential Saltwater Fish Model for Studies of Osmoregulation
Figure 9
Localization of Odfxyd11 mRNA in gill sections of freshwater-acclimated brackish medaka.
Cryosections of gill filaments labeled with sense probe (A; control) or anti-sense probe (B) show counterstaining with Odfxyd11 probes. (C) Positive Odfxyd11 signals (purple) were localized to epithelial cells of the gill filament. (D) The NKA immunoreactive cells (dark red) are identical to the epithelial cells labeled with the Odfxyd11 probe in the same cryosection. AF, afferent region; C, cartilage; EF, efferent region; L, lamellae. Scale bar = 20 µm.
