CD11b⁺Ly6C^lowLy6G⁺ cells in the brain and spleen 72 hours after MCAo showed increased expression of <i>Nox2</i> and <i>CHOP</i> than such cells in the bone marrow of naïve mice.

CD11b+Ly6ClowLy6G+ cells were collected from the bone marrow of normal mice, as well as from the spleen, ischemic hemisphere, and contralateral hemisphere 72 hours after MCAo. Because few CD11b+Ly6ClowLy6G+ cells were found in each sample, 5–6 samples were pooled in each group and mRNA was purified from the pooled sample. These analyses were conducted by two independent groups of different samples. Values are shown as mean. N.D.: not detected.
