Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Immunohistochemical analysis of cerebellum brain tissue from humanized mice subjected to HIV-1 and cART is shown in the remaining panels. Representative images illustrate IFIT3 expression (green fluorescence), neuronal cells labeled with the NeuN marker (red fluorescence), and nuclear staining with DAPI (blue fluorescence). Column 1 shows IFIT3 expression. Column 2, NeuN labeling; Column 3, DAPI staining; Column 4, a composite image of IFIT3, NeuN, and DAPI. Column 5 shows phase contrast (PC) imaging to detail the cellular morphology. Column 6 shows a composite overlay of IFIT3/NeuN/DAPI with phase contrast imaging to provide a holistic view of expression patterns within the cellular architecture. (B) shows the fluorescence intensity, and (C) shows the accuracy analysis via MATLAB. The study included brain tissue samples from six individual mice (n=6) in each treatment group.Differences in IFIT3 expression were statistically analyzed via one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test. Significance levels are indicated as *p = 0.219, ****p < 0.0001 and ns, not significant.
Article Snippet: Nuclear staining and mounting of the cell nuclei were performed with Fluoromount-GTM DAPI (catalog# 010001, Southern Biotech), and the coverslips were mounted on microscope slides.
