TREM2 heterozygosity does not affect Aβ plaque deposition in 3-month old APPPS1-21 mice. (A-D) Representative coronal brain sections from 3-month old from male TREM2 WT (A), male TREM2 Het (B), female TREM2 WT (C) and female TREM2 Het (D). Sections were immunostained with a biotinylated anti-Aβ antibody HJ3.4. (E) Quantification of the percentage of cortical area occupied by Aβ immunostaining. Two-way ANOVA analysis found a significant effect of gender (F1,39 = 13.63, p = 0.0007), but not genotype (F1,39 = 0.25, p = 0.62). (F) Quantification of the percentage of cortical area occupied by X-34 staining. Two-way ANOVA analysis found a significant effect of gender (F1,39 = 14.33, p = 0.0005), but not genotype (F1,39 = 0.08, p = 0.78; TREM2 WT (male, n = 12; female, n = 12) TREM2 Het (male, n = 9; female, n = 10)). Data are presented as mean ± SEM.
