a The co-localization of C3d (red) and GFAP (green) was assessed by confocal microscopy. b The percentage of GFAP-positive astrocytes that were C3d-positive in the hippocampus DG region. c The quantification of GFAP-positive astrocytes in the hippocampus DG region. Field: 70 × 70 μm. d Western blots and densitometric analysis for C3d, GFAP, and S100A10. β-actin was used as an internal control. The data are the mean ± SEM, n = 6 biologically independent animals, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
