P2Y12 and CD45 double-labeling immunohistochemistry before and after LPS treatment. Representative photomicrographs from the hippocampus. All scale bars correspond to 50 μm. a P2Y12 brain immunostaining of control animals reveals ramified, P2Y12+ microglia in all brain regions (parietal cortex, hippocampus, and cerebellum). b The CD45 immunostaining of the same area reveals very low CD45 immunoreactivity. c P2Y12 staining reveals activated microglia cells with enlarged cell bodies and thickened processes in LPS-treated animals (arrowheads). d Double labeling with CD45 shows the CD45low expression of the corresponding cells (arrowheads). e The percentage of activated/all microglia based on morphology and CD45 expression. f The number of activated microglia per brain area.
