CF immunoreactivity in the corpus callosum of the WT, WC and KO groups at 2 and 6 weeks after BCAS.

<p>Representative confocal images showing abundant CD11b positive cells (green) were observed in the corpus callosum in all groups after BCAS (D–F, M–O). The expression of CF (red) was also observed in the corpus callosum in all groups after BCAS (A–C, J–L). DAPI (blue) was used to counterstain the cell nuclei. The merged images show the co-localization of CF (red) with activated microglia (green) in the corpus callosum in all groups after BCAS (G–I, P–R). (Scale bar = 50 µm; n = 6).
