Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of lymphocyte co-culture on retinal ganglion cell (RGC) survival and macrophage infiltration. (A) Representative images of flat-mounted retinas showing β-III tubulin-positive RGCs and ED1-positive microglia/macrophages. Scale bar, 50 µm. (B) Quantification of RGCs showed that the co-culture of activated lymphocytes increased the RGCs compared to control lymphocytes co-culture. (C) Quantification of microglia/macrophages showed dramatic augmentation in the co-culture of activated lymphocytes compared to other culture conditions. Data are presented as means ± SEM (n=4-6 of each group). **** P < 0.0001. The number of retinas in each group was 4-6.
Article Snippet: One half was immunostained with primary antibody against mouse anti-βIII-tubulin (TUJ-1, 1:400, Babco, Richmond, CA, USA), and the other half with mouse anti-ED1 (1:200, Serotec, Oxford) followed by incubation with a Cy3-conjugated secondary anti-mouse antibody (1:400, Jackson ImmunoResearch, West Grove, PA, USA) and FITC-conjugated secondary anti-mouse antibody (1:400 Sigma) as secondary antibodies ( , , ).
