Figure 6. Expression of neuron and glial cell markers in the thalamus of F344 (control) and HIV-1Tg rats.
(a) The western blot image of astrocyte marker glia fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), neuronal marker neuronal nuclei (NeuN) and microtubule-associated protein-2 (MAP2). (b) The western blot image of microglia marker CD68. (c–f) The relative quantification of protein expression in (a) and (b). (g–i) Gene expression levels of transcriptional factors HES1, Notch1, and Mash1, respectively. * p<0.05, ** p<0.01, Mann Whitney test.
