Figure 5

Expression of MHC class II molecules is different in brains of transgenic rat models. In brainstem of WKY TG rats (A), activation of microglia is accompanied by widespread MHCII expression, while in SHR TG (B), only sparse MHCII staining was recorded. Stereological quantification shows highly significant differences between the transgenic lines. In WKY TG rats, there are 10 times more microglia that express MHCII than are present in SHR TG rats (C, Studen't t-test, *** p < 0.001). Pre-fixed frozen sections. Scale bars: 50 μm.
