Figure 6

Histological and immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis of the endogenous immune response to the drNPC-SPRPix implanted into the brain cortex of a rhesus macaque. (A) Nissl stain; magnification ×100 (B,С). H&E stain of the interface between the SPRPix and the surrounding host tissue; magnifications ×100 (B) and ×200 (С). (D,E). Representative images of CD3 staining showing low level of T cell infiltration in the brain tissue adjacent to the drNPC-SPRPix implant. (FH) Representative images of CD68 staining showing examples of microglial/macrophages in the brain adjacent to the drNPC-SPRPix implant (G) and among the human cell graft (H). (E,H) depict the areas with the highest immune cell infiltration noted. Bar size 100 µm. Notations: rSS-PCL-spidroin-polycaprolactone scaffold; Ctx – brain cortex.
