Figure 3

Representative coronal sections of microglia in the ventral midbrain at the level of the substantia nigra (SN) visualized by CD11b-immunoreactivity (-ir). (A) activated microglia in the SN of a rat injected in the SN with LPS 12 days prior and (B) the contralateral side. (C) low level of microglia activation 12 days following an intra-striatal injection of 6-OHDA (5.0 μg) and (D) the contralateral side showing resting microglia. Insets are 20× images taken from the area outlined in lower magnification pictures. Scale bar of inset, 100 μm; scale bar of low magnification images (2.5×), 1.0 mm).
