Section of rat hippocampus stained with rabbit polyclonal antibody to the serotonin transport (SERT) RPCA-SERT. Section is counterstained with monoclonal antibody to myelin basic protein (MBP) MCA-7G7 in green. The SERT antibody stains a network of very fine beaded and non-myelinated processes which originate in the raphe nucleus and spread throughout the brain. The MBP antibody binds the myelin sheaths of thicker projection axons. To see this image as part of a slide show of our other images, go here.
