Upregulation and nuclear translocation of αEnsa protein is detected in ischemic human
neurons using a polyclonal rabbit-anti-αEnsa primary antibody. Immunofluorescent
montage images of ischemic human cortex reveal αEnsa protein expression changes in
distinct regions of infarcted brain (A, C), relative to controls
(B, D). Double label immunofluorescent images demonstrate
colocalization with NeuN in degenerating ischemic neurons, with punctate labeling and
nuclear translocation seen in zones 1 and 2 (data are representatiave of findings in 5
postmortem cerebral infarcts); original magnification,
20× (A–D); 40× (E,
F); scale bars, 50 µm (A–D) or
10 µm (E, F); αEnsa, red/CY3; GFAP, Hsf1, NeuN,
green/FITC; nuclei, blue/DAPI.
