Microglia and neurons contribute to neuroinflammation in the hippocampi of viral-infected hamsters and COVID-19 patients, a Representative image of IBA1 in the hamster hippocampus at naïve, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, and 14 dpi, showing staining for IBA1 (red) and DAPI (blue) at 20x and 63x and quantified for percent IBA1+ area. b Immunostaining for IL-1β and IBA1 in the hamster hippocampus at naïve, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, and 14 dpi, presented as microscopy with IBA1 (red), IL-1β (green) and DAPI (blue) and percent IL-1β+ area and IL-1β+IBA1+ area, normalized to total IL-1B+ area. c, e Representative image of IBA1 in control and COVID-19 patient hippocampi, showing staining for IBA1 (magenta) and DAPI (blue) at 20x and 63x and quantified for percent IBA1+ area. d, f Immunostaining for IL-1β and IBA1 in hippocampi of control and COVID-19 patients, presented as microscopy with IBA1 (magenta), IL-1β (green) and DAPI (blue) and percent IL-1β+ area and IL-1β+IBA1+ area, normalized to total IBA1+ ar-ea. g. Representative images of IBA1 in the human adult hippocampus with high magnification images single channel. Sections stained with DAPI (blue), IBA1 (green), and DCX (red) in non-COVID-19 control. Scale bar, 25 μm. h Representative images of GFAP in the human adult hippocampus with high magnification images single channel. Sections stained with DAPI (blue), GFAP (green), and DCX (red) in non-COVID-19 control. The arrow points to a single DCX+/GFAP− neuron in the subgranular zone. Scale bar, 25 μm. i. Immunostaining for IL-6 and NeuN in hippocampi of control and COVID-19 patients, presented as microscopy with NeuN (red), IL-6 (green) and DAPI (blue) and percent IL-6+ area and IL-16+NeuN+ area, normalized to total NeuN+ area. Data were pooled from at least two independent experiments. Scale bars, 20 μm (20x) or 10 μm (63x). Data represent the mean ± s.e.m. and were ana-lysed by two-way ANOVA or Student’s t-test.
