Fig. 1. Reduction of HS epitopes in NDST-1/ skeletal
muscle. Immunofluorescence staining for (a,c,e,g) HS-epitope AO4B05 and
(b,d,f,h) acetylcholine receptor clusters in intercostal muscle of E18.5
embryos of (a,b,e,f) wildtype, (c,d) NDST-1/and (g,h)
NDST-2/. Overall staining in
NDST-1/ is significantly reduced, compared to wild
type and NDST-2/ staining, except for the BL in the
NMJs and their direct vicinity (n=5; see also
Fig. 2a,b). Bar, 50 µm.
