C3 and GFAP immunoreactivity overlay (merge) c Quantification of C3+ area (%) of control or activated MCM treated astrocytes. d Schematic diagram showing treatment of astrocytes with control or activated endothelial conditioned medium (ECM) e Double immunofluorescence of complement component 3 (C3, red) and astrocytes (GFAP, green) treated with control or activated ECM in primary astrocyte cultures. C3 and GFAP immunoreactivity overlay (merge) f Quantification of C3+ area (%) of control or activated ECM treated astrocytes. The number of cells analyzed was 20 per image from 10 different images per culture from 4 independent cultures. Results are shown as the median ± IQR of n = 4. Asterisks indicate significant differences, where *p < 0.05 by Mann-Whitney test. Scale bar 50 μm.
