CR2-fH increases relative VEGF expression but not angiogenesis in the ipsilateral brain at 7 days post-MCAO. a VEGF expression as determined by Western blot analysis of ipsilateral brain tissue extract. Shown are relative expression levels normalized to level in wt control mice, with β-actin serving as a loading control. Bar = Median, n = 4, *p < 0.05. b Representative Western blot for analysis of VEGF expression. c Von Willibrand factor positive (vWF⁺) vessels within the ipsilateral brain as detected by immunohistochemistry. Bar = Median (positive vessels per ten high-powered fields), n = 6
