a. Adjacent sections from a healthy control stained for phosphorylated α-Syn (MJFR-13, abcam ab168381) are shown with (left) and without (right) proteinase K treatment demonstrating robust detection of insoluble LP. b. Higher power view of Lewy Pathology (solid arrow) in a PD myenteric plexus ganglion. Samples obtained from Banner Health Brain and Body Donation Program. Scale bars are 50μm.
