Figure Lengend Snippet: Expression of TLR2 in the cortical-derived neurons and other cells. Primary rat cortical cells were cultured for 2–16 days. ( a ) Representative images of primary cortical cells at DIV2, DIV9, DIV12, and DIV16. Representative images showing the signal from Hoechst 33342-stained nuclei in blue, beta III tubulin immunoreactivity in green, and TLR2 immunoreactivity in red in the cultured cortical cells, and merged image (bottom panel). (4 biological replicates in 1 technical replicate from 2 independent experiments) ( b ) Magnified images from ( a ) showing TLR2 in neurons. Scale bar: 100 μm. Cells were analyzed in 4 fields of view. Two independent experiments were performed
Article Snippet: Anti-class III beta-tubulin (TUBB3) antibody (R&D systems, MAB1195), a marker for neurons (Ballas et al. ), anti-TLR2 antibody (Thermo, MA532787 ), anti-glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) antibody (abcam, ab68428), a marker for astrocytes (Shixing et al. ), anti-Iba1 antibody (CST, 17198T), a marker for microglia (Ni et al. ), and anti-Olig2 antibody (abcam, ab109186), a marker for oligodendrocytes (Xu et al. ), were used as primary antibodies (Wyczanska et al. ).
