Figure 2.
Spatial distribution of iNOS and COX-2 immunoreactivity throughout the rostro-caudal extent of the ischemic lesion, 24 hr after MCA occlusion. At the periphery of the infarct, iNOS-positive neutrophils overlap with COX-2-positive neurons. In cingulate cortex and olfactory bulb, only COX-2 positive neurons are observed.
