Phenotypical characterization of astrocytes in the cerebellar white matter by immunohistochemistry. Detection of astrocyte markers glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP; A,A′′), aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 L1 (ALDH1L1; B,B′′), aquaporin 4 (AQP4; C,C′′), glutamine synthetase (GS; D,D′′), and survivin (E,E′′). (A,E) Intact white matter of a control animal (group 1). Scale bar = 50 µm. (A’,E’) Acute distemper lesion (group 2). Arrows = gemistocytic astrocytes. Scale bar = 50 µm. (A′′,D′′) Subacute to chronic, inflammatory lesion (group 4). Arrows = gemistocytic astrocytes. Scale bar = 50 µm. (E′′) Group 4 lesion with perivascular inflammation and increase of intralesional survivin+ cells. Scale bar = 200 µm. Inset: Higher magnification. Immunopositive cells show astrocyte morphology. Scale bar = 20 µm.
