Recombinase reporter shows strain-specific Cre expression. Representative confocal images demonstrate that Tek-Cre is expressed in Cd31+ vascular endothelial cells (a) and Iba1+ microglia (b, n = 4). Cx3cr1-CreERT2 is only expressed in microglia in both the PVN and ME (c, d, n = 6). Slco1c1-CreERT2 is expressed in blood vessels (e) but not microglia (f, n = 4). TdTomato+ cells with long processes in f are β1 tanycytes. Scale bars = 25 μm
