Patterns of α-syn immunoreactivity in aged pated with HIV. Images are from the paraffin sections of SN of HIV+ patients over 50 years of age; sections were treated with antigen retrieval solution and immunostained with an antibody against α-syn and counterstained with hematoxylin. (A) Intra-axonal accumulation of α-syn; (B) discrete intracytoplastic deposit similar to Lewy-body; (C-D) examples of threadlike Lewy neurites; (E) diffuse intracytoplasmic α-syn immunoreactivity in a nigral neuron; (F,G) Lewy body inclusions in nigral neurons and (H) positive control Lewy bodies in a classical case of PD.
