Denervation at the neuromuscular junction. Presynaptic structures labelled
with SV2 and neurofilament antibody are shown in green, and postsynaptic
structures labelled with TRITC-
-bungarotoxin are in
red. At 15 weeks, both strains show extensive denervation, with partial
occupancy of endplates by motor nerve terminals occurring frequently. From
"The slow Wallerian degeneration gene, WldS, inhibits axonal
spheroid pathology in gracile axonal dystrophy mice" by
Mi et al., pp. 405-416.
