The incidence of intracerebral hemorrhages is increased 24 h after tMCAO in rats with depleted microglial cells. A, B, Representative images of DAB-positive red blood cells showing the presence of intracerebral hemorrhages in the injured cortex (A) and caudate (B) of Clod-lip-treated rats. The sections were costained with Nissl. C, D, Quantification of the number of hemorrhages in six fluorescently labeled coronal sections. C, The total number of intracerebral hemorrhages. D, The number of large hemorrhages (>10,000 μm²). Shown are data for individual rats. Significance levels as indicated.
