Figure 8

Hippocampus slice stained with OX-42 at 8 DIV after 24 h exposure to 5 μg/ml of LPS. The heterogenous morphology of microglia continued despite the extensive culture time and LPS exposure (A-C, arrows). A, "resting", ramified microglia, B, "reactive", activated microglia, and C, "phagocytic", macrophage microglia. Scale bar equals 50 μm.
