Left: Dorsal root ganglion neurons labeled with anti-tubulin antibody. Top, control; Bottom, inhibited by myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG).
Right: MAG inhibits axon outgrowth via two independent pathways.

Dorsal root ganglia triple-labelled with anti-ganglioside mAbs (green), neurofilament (red) and IB-4 (blue). Co-localization of three labels is also shown (Merged). The mAbs included in this figure are shown on the left. Bar = 20 mm.

Gangliosides on neurons in cell culture. Rat cerebellar granule neurons immunostained with anti-GD1a antibody (left).  Corresponding Hoffman modulation contrast image (right). Asterisk denotes non-neuronal cells, which fail to stain.

Binding of radiolabeled ganglioside ligand to receptors in the rat brain. Left: Rat brain section stained with cresyl violet. Right: Adjacent section treated with 125I-GT1b-BSA, washed, and subjected to autoradiography. Note prominent white matter but not gray matter distribution of ganglioside receptors.
