Table 1.
Relatively novel findings from the present study.
| Antibody | Interesting findings |
|---|---|
| Collagen IV | Unevenly distributed along blood vessels, leaving large areas void of signals |
| Glut1 | Unevenly distributed along blood vessels, leaving large areas void of signals |
| CD31 | Unevenly distributed along blood vessels, leaving large areas void of signals |
| GFAP | Astrocytes do not completely wrap CD31-positive endothelial cells or CD146-positive pericytes, with the majority of the vessels void of astrocyte end feet; astrocytes seem to wrap one segment of blood vessels rather than wrapping multiple segments of blood vessels using different processes |
| CD146 | More CD146-positive pericytes in the CA1 region of the hippocampus than in the dentate gyrus and astrocytes tend to wrap blood vessels in the ventral portion of the CA1 region |
| Iba1 | In contrast to astrocytes, microglial cells show clear cell bodies |
