Expression and distribution of nestin (red) and GFAP (green) in the retina of sham (A-C) and BL rats (D-L). In sham retina, a weak nestin labeling is detected in GCL and IPL (A). In the GCL, weak nestin immunofluorescence is co-localized in GFAP-labeled astrocytes (single arrow, A-C). Following blast exposure, nestin expression is evidently augmented in various retinal layers at different time-points (D-L) notably at 72 h and 2 weeks (G, J). Following blast exposure, nestin immunoreactivity is localized in GFAP-labeled astrocytes (single arrow) and blood vessels (asterisk). Scale bar=20 μm (A-L).
