Fig. 2From: Intraventricular IL-17A administration activates microglia and alters their localization in the mouse embryo cerebral cortexa Representative photographs of Iba1 (upper panel) and CD68 immunostaining (lower panel) after exposure to saline (left) and IL-17A (right). Arrowheads indicate accumulated microglia. LV: lateral ventricle. Scale bar = 100 μm. b Effects of IL-17A administration on microglia. Iba1 microglia in cingulate (medial) and somatosensory (lateral) cortices. IL-17A administration at E14.5 did not change the total number of microglia, but increased their tendency to accumulate in the medial region of the cortex. N = 6 per group, two-way ANOVA, * p < 0.05. c Effects of IL-17A administration on activated microglia. CD68 microglia in cingulate (medial) and somatosensory (lateral) cortices. IL-17A administration at E14.5 increased the number of amoeboid-type microglia especially in the medial region of the cortex. N = 6 per group, two-way ANOVA, * p < 0.05Back to article page
