Representative images illustrating multiple phenotypes of microglia and macrophages in the control and experimental groups. Representative overview images (odd rows, scale bar indicates 200Ā Ī¼m) of the splenium of the corpus callosum (CC) in control mice (first column), CPZ-treated mice (second column) and CPZ-treated mice with BFP-MSC grafts (third column) or IL13-MSC grafts (fourth column). Representative detail images (even rows, scale bar indicates 50Ā Ī¼m) from the BFP-MSC or IL13-MSC graft site or from the corresponding areas in healthy control or CPZ control mice. First and second rows: in green direct eGFP fluorescence from CX3CR1+/eGFP brain-resident microglia and in red direct RFP fluorescence from peripheral CCR2+/RFP macrophages. Third and fourth rows: additionally in blue immunofluorescent staining for F4/80 marking activated eGFP+ brain-resident microglia and RFP+ peripheral macrophages. Fifth and sixth rows: additionally in blue immunofluorescent staining for MHCII marking activated eGFP+ brain-resident microglia and RFP+ peripheral macrophages. Seventh and eighth rows: additionally in blue immunofluorescent staining for Arg1 marking alternatively activated eGFP+ brain-resident microglia and RFP+ peripheral macrophages
