Myelin Basic Protein and Cardiac Sympathetic Neurodegeneration in Nonhuman Primates

Figure 1

The myelin marker MBP surrounds axons in myocardial nerve bundles in the heart of rhesus macaques. Brightfield ((a, b); brown color) and fluorescent ((c, d); pink color) immunolabeling of MBP (arrows). MBP-immunoreactivity (-ir) surrounds a minority of PGP9.5-ir neuronal axons (red). Scale bars = 50 μm. MBP, myelin basic protein; PGP9.5, protein gene product 9.5.
