Figure 5. A, OATP1c1 immunofluorescence shows the time course of OATP1c1 protein in blood vessels of rats following LPS injection. Images were taken from the thalamus; note the decrease in labeling at 9 h, and that only scattered vessel segments are labeled at 24 h. B, The same phenomenon is shown in mice in images taken from the rostral perifornical area. C, MCT8 immunfluorescence in blood vessels of the mouse thalamus; labeling intensity is only mildly reduced at 24 h after LPS. Scale bar = 50 μm.
