Cell type characterization of validation sequences VS33 and VS47 using immunostaining in coronal sections of the auditory cortex. (A–D) Fluorescence microscopy images of VS33-driven mTFP expression (cyan) and immunostaining of cell type marker antibodies (magenta) in the same fields of view. Cell type marker proteins are NeuN (A), Parvalbumin (PV) (B), Calbindin (CB) (C) and Olig2 (D). Six neocortical layers indicated on DAPI image. (E) Quantification of the percentage of VS33-positive cells that are co-stained by the cell type markers in (A-D) (mean across images ± SD). VS33 drives expression in mainly neuronal cells. (F–J) Analogous to (A-E), but for VS47-driven mTFP expression. VS47 drives expression prominently in the interneurons.
