α-Synuclein immunohistochemistry in PD. Although both sporadic cases and those with A53T α-synuclein mutations had severe neuronal loss in the substantia nigra, substantially more α-synuclein positive neurites and dots were seen in the A53T cases (A) compared with sporadic PD (B). As expected, there were more α-synuclein-immunopositive Lewy body and astrocytes in the cortex of end-stage (C) versus earlier stages of PD (D).
