Immunohistochemistry of TSPO (green), CD11b (red) and GFAP (white) on whole coronal brain sections of animals bearing i.c. 9L glioma (a) illustrates strong TSPO expression and the presence of CD11b-positive microglial/macrophage cells in the tumour. In contrast, GFAP staining did not reveal the presence of astrocytes within the glioma. Triple labelling at higher magnification (b) shows a number of CD11b-positive microglia/macrophages present in the tumour expressing a high level of TSPO. Nuclear counterstaining was performed using DAPI (blue)
