Figure 1

Laser scanning confocal micrographs (LCSMs) of mouse circumvallate taste buds show that GFP is an accurate reporter of protein. Panels A-C show sections from transgenic mice expressing GFP under the control of the T1R3 promoter. Green denotes T1R3 GFP expression (A, C) and red shows T1R3-like-immunoreactivity (LIR) (B, C). Panels D-F show sections taken from mice expressing GFP under control of the TRPM5 promoter. Green denotes TRPM5 GFP expression (D, F) and red shows TRPM5-LIR (E, F). Scale bar is 20 μm.
