Murine microglia express CNTFRα, which is induced further by IFNγ. Panel A shows a representative photograph of cultured murine microglia. Panel B shows representative western blots for CNTFRα proteins in murine microglial cultures induced by IFNγ. Microglia were treated with IFNγ 1, 10 and 100 ng/mL, or left untouched for 22 hours. Forty micrograms of protein lysates were analyzed by western blotting. Membranes were probed with CNTFRα antibody and were re-probed with β-tubulin antibody to confirm equivalent protein loading. Recombinant rat soluble CNTFRα was loaded as a positive control (leftmost lane).
