Figure 1. Microglial cells express FABP4 and FABP5 but not FABP7. A.
Fatty acid binding protein is expressed in both whole brain (WB) and microglial cells. A visualization of real-time PCR products on agarose gel electrophoresis to evaluate gene expression. Gene product of 174 bp was expected for FABP4. B. FABP5 is expressed in both WB and BV2 microglial cells. Gene product of 168 bp was expected for FABP5. C. FABP7 is expressed in WB but not BV2 microglial cells. Gene product of 131 bp was expected for FABP7. L, ladder, B, water blank.
