“…Both injected and un-injected eyes were dissected out, the cornea and lens removed, and then immersed in the same fixative overnight before they were processed for frozen sectioning at 20 μm thickness. Serial alternate sections collected were processed for immmunohistochemistry, as described elsewhere (Guo et al, 1990, 1991, 1992, Bresciani et al, 2002; Jen et al, 1998; Walsh et al, 2002, 2005; Yang et al, 1992). In brief, alternate sections were incubated in a solution containing monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies for a number of glial or neuronal markers, including, ChAT ((1:20), Boehringer Manheim), GABA ((1:8000), Sigma, UK), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP, 1:600, Sigma), tyrosine hydroxylase (TH, 1:1000, Sigma, UK), and tryptophan hydroxylase (TryptH, 1:1000, Sigma).…”
