FIGURE 1.

Affection of neurofilament subunits in mice 24 h after experimental stroke induction. Representative overview showing double immunofluorescence labeling of NF-L and NF-H (A) as well as of INA and NF-M (B) 24 h after fMCAO. Ischemia-affected areas are demarcated by an increase of NF-L immunoreactivity, while the immunosignals for INA, NF-M, and NF-H are found to be decreased. Dashed lines outline the border of increased NF-L immunoreactivity within ischemia-affected areas (i). Scale bars: 1 mm.
