Figure 8. Genetic labeling of microglia during EAE.

Figure 8.

(A) Spinal cord microglia labeled prior to induction of EAE are dispersed throughout inflammatory lesions (see asterisk). (B) EAE spinal cord lesion in a P2ry12-CreER; Rosa26Ai14; Cx3cr1-EGFP mouse that was given tamoxifen a week prior to EAE induction. Sections were immunostained for PU.1 (white) and Cx3cr1-EGFP (green). (C) Control, non-lesioned area of the spinal cord. (D) Higher magnification view of EAE lesion, showing microglia (closed arrowhead), Cx3Cr1-EGFP; TdTomato(-) potential infiltrating monocytes (open arrowhead), and TdTomato(-); EGFP(-); PU.1 (+) infiltrating myelogenous cells (asterisk). (E) Higher magnification view of a non-lesioned area of the spinal cord. Scale bars = 500 µm (A), 100 µm (B,C), 40 µm (D,E).
