(A) CD45 immunoreactivity (green) in WT C57BL/6 mice. Images are compressed confocal Z stacks. Arrowheads point to amoeboid CD45+ cells in the SVZ. Scale bar = 50 μm. (B) Number of CD45+ cells in the dorsal SVZ, ventral SVZ, striatum and septum at 3, 7 and 14 dpi in SJL/J mice. (C) Number of CD45+ cells in the dorsal SVZ, ventral SVZ, striatum and septum at 3, 7 and 14 dpi in C57BL/6 mice. *P<0.05 Gal-3−/− compared to WT, ** P<0.01, ***P<0.001.
