Figure 7From: Activated microglia contribute to neuronal apoptosis in Toxoplasmic encephalitisExpression of iNOS in brain of control, TE, and TE + M mice. (A) Double immunofluorescent staining of iNOS with Iba-1 (a specific marker of microglia). In the inflammatory loci of hippocampus, the number of iNOS-immunoreactive cells increased and the iNOS was expressed in microglia. (B) Western blotting analysis of iNOS expression. Histograms show densitometric analyses that revealed the relative levels of iNOS normalized over β-actin. Values represent the means ± SEM of six animals per group. (*P < 0.01 vs Control; #P < 0.01 vs TE).Back to article page
