Article Title: The Anti-Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide (Anti-CGRP) Antibody Fremanezumab Reduces Trigeminal Neurons Immunoreactive to CGRP and CGRP Receptor Components in Rats
doi: 10.3390/ijms241713471
Figure Lengend Snippet: Typical examples of corresponding images used for cell counting of neurons immunopositive for CGRP, receptor activity modifying protein 1 (RAMP1), calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CLR) and receptor component protein (RCP) in the V1 region ( D , E ) and the V2 region ( A – C , F – I , K ). ( A , D , I ) represent ganglion sections of animals treated with control antibody, ( B , E , K ) are from animals treated with fremanezumab, ( C ) shows part of a control section without primary antibody. ( H ) is an overlay of ( F , G ) showing co-localization of CLR and RCP immunofluorescence. Arrows point to neurons classified as strongly immunopositive, arrowheads mark exemplary neurons regarded as weakly positive; stars in ( A – C ) show unstained neurons, which are only visible in high brightness or indicated by their surrounding satellite cells (blue DAPI staining). Red fluorescence is produced by a secondary antibody conjugated with Alexa 555, green fluorescence with Alexa 488.
