Figure 3. Glial activation occurs early in transgenic ATXN1[82Q] mice before behavioral and cerebellar tissue pathology.
Cerebellar sections from four weeks old ATXN1[82Q] and wild-type littermates mice were stained with GFAP and Iba1 antibodies. a and c Representative images of GFAP (a) and Iba1 (c) staining in cerebellar cortex. b and e Intensity of GFAP staining in 4 week old mice (b, N = 7); e time course; d and f Number of Iba1 + cells (4 week old mice; N=5) f time course. Student's t-test P values are shown with all the histograms. Error bars represent SEM. Scale bar = 45 μm
