Microscopio Confocal Espectral Nikon
Triple immunofluorescence staining has been performed in intact (the five upper fibres) and degenerated peripheral nerve fibres (the five lower fibres). The axonal specific marker neurofilament is shown in red, the myelin sheath marker MBP in blue and the Schwann cell cytoplasm in green. Myelin sheath disorganization and axonal fragmentation is seen in 3 days degenerated nerve fibers.
