Figure Lengend Snippet: The count of Iba1 + Caspase-3 + cells in the cerebral cortex and the subventricular zone of male ICR mice at day 7 post-TBI. Representative micrographs of the ( A – C ) cerebral cortex and ( D – F ) the subventricular zone obtained from ( A , D ) intact mice; ( B – E ) TBI mice (day 7); and ( C – F ) TBI mice treated with reserpine. Samples were stained with antibodies specific for ( A1 , B1 , C1 , D1 , E1 , F1 ) Iba1 (red); ( A2 , B2 , C2 , D2 , E2 , F2 ) Caspase-3 (green). DAPI (blue) was used to identify cell nuclei. ( A3 , B3 , C3 , D3 , E3 , F3 ) (Merge) Composite image using all three colors. 4× images. ( G ) Number of Iba1 + Caspase-3 + cells (% of Iba1 + cells) in the cerebral cortex and subventricular zone of male ICR mice. * Significance of difference compared with intact control ( p < 0.017 with the Bonferroni correction). • Significance of difference compared with TBI ( p < 0.017 with the Bonferroni correction). Note: The white circle represents the area of staining for the Iba1 and Caspase-3 markers.
Article Snippet: Specific cellular markers were identified using recombinant mouse monoclonal antibodies against ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 (Iba1) (Cat.No GB15105, Mouse Anti-Iba1, Servicebio Technology, Wuhan, China), rabbit polyclonal antibodies against the inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) (Cat.No GB11119, Rabbit Anti-iNOS, Servicebio Technology, Wuhan, China), rabbit polyclonal antibodies against the macrophage mannose receptor (Mannose Receptor/CD206) (Cat.No GB113497 , Rabbit Anti-Mannose Receptor/CD206, Servicebio Technology, Wuhan, China), rabbit polyclonal antibodies against caspase-3 (Caspase-3) (Cat.No GB11532, Rabbit Anti-Cleaved-Caspase-3, Servicebio Technology, Wuhan, China), rat monoclonal antibody against Myeloperoxidase (MPO) (Cat.No ab300650, Rat Anti-Myeloperoxidase [ EPR20257 ], Abcam, Massachusetts, USA).
