Figure 8.
Effect of 100 min of transient brain ischemia (tMCAO), ischemic PC, and PC followed 72 h later by tMCAO (PC+tMCAO) on DcR2 expression. Confocal microscopic images displaying NeuN (a–l) (green), DcR2 (b–m) (red), and Merge (c–n) (yellow) in the brain peri-ischemic region of rats after 5 h (A), 24 h (B), and 72 h (C) of reperfusion. A representative brain slice cartoon indicating the area of interest is on the left top of the figure. Scale bars in a–i: 50 μm
