Immunofluorescence analysis of the brain from mice infected with over-expressing ROP18 transgenic parasites. Brain sections from animal groups infected with RH or ROP18-RH tachyzoites were double stained with NeuN (a specific marker of neuron cell) and PI (a marker of cell death). a the cerebral cortex; (b) hippocampus. NeuN (green); PI (red); DAPI (blue) was used to stain the nuclei. Scale bar = 50 μm; (c) The quantitative data of panel (a) and (b). Values are expressed as mean ± SD on three individuals. **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001 vs. un-infected control
