Figure 3From: Dispensable role of Drosophila ortholog of LRRK2 kinase activity in survival of dopaminergic neuronsDrosophila lacking dLRRK kinase activity has normal development of DA neuron. Brain dissected from wild-type flies (a), e03680/+ flies (b) and e03680/e03680 flies (c) aged 20 days were immunostained with anti-Drosophila TH antibody followed by an Alexa Fluor 594-labeled secondary antibody to indentify DA neurons. Representative pictures shown were collected by confocal microscopy. Dopaminergic neurons in six brain regions, including PAL, PPM1/2, PPM3, PPL1, PPL2, and VUM, were quantified and no significant difference was found among different fly lines (d). Localization of Drosophila DA neurons is illustrated in e.Back to article page
