CD88 in the stratum lucidum rarely co-localised with astrocytes and microglia. (A-F) Immunolabelling for CD88 (red) in the stratum lucidum of the hippocampus rarely co-localised with immunolabelling for GFAP (a marker of astrocytes) (green). Although GFAP-positive cells expressed CD88, the vast majority of CD88 immunlabelling in the stratum lucidum did not co-localize with GFAP. (G-L) Immunolabelling for CD88 (red) in the stratum lucidum of the hippocampus rarely co-localised with immunolabelling for IBA1 (a marker of microglia) (green). Although IBA1-positive cells expressed CD88, the vast majority of CD88 immunolabelling in the stratum lucidum did not co-localize with IBA1. GFAP, glial fabrillary acidic protein; IBA-1, ionizing calcium-binding molecule. Scale bars = A-C, 200 μm; D-F, 20 μm; G-I, 200 μm; J-L, 20 μm.
