Figure 1From: Activated microglia contribute to neuronal apoptosis in Toxoplasmic encephalitisToxoplasma encephalitis model was established. Microscopic observation of the brain tissues of mice latently infected with cyst-forming T. gondii Wh6 strain (genotype Chinese 1) reactivated by cyclophosphamide administration. (A①) and (A③), a single cyst (arrows) in the cortex of chronically infected mice; (A②) necrosis and inflammatory infiltration noted in foci of recrudescence; (A④) free tachyzoites in TE (×400). The sections were incubated with mouse anti-Toxoplasma SAG1 monoclonal antibody and peroxidase-antiperoxidase-coupled secondary antibody, followed by DAB colorization. Figure B, hemiplegia and paraplegia in model mice with Toxoplasma encephalitis.Back to article page
