Figure 3.

Immunohistochemical staining of active caspase-8 in 4-µm-thick paraffin-embedded cerebellar sections. (A) From control. (B) From experimental. Scale bar shown in (B) applies to both images (A and B) in the figure. Hematoxylin-stained nuclei help to differentiate the molecular (ML), Purkinje cell (PC), and granule cell (GL) layers. (A) Active caspase-8 immunostaining is hardly observed in the control cerebellum. (B) Active caspase-8 immunoreactivity is strong in PCs (such as those at the tips of the black arrows) and granule neurons (such as those at the tips of the white arrows) from the experimental group. (C) The level of active caspase-8 expression increased significantly in the experimental cerebella compared to that in the control group (P < .01*). Cr., control; Exp., experimental.
