Figure 2From: The formyl peptide receptor like-1 and scavenger receptor MARCO are involved in glial cell activation in bacterial meningitis Neisseria meningitides bacterial supernatants induced an increase of MARCO immunoreactivity in astrocytes. Primary rat astrocytes and microglia were fixed and labelled with anti-FPRL1 and anti-MARCO antibodies. FPRL1 (A) and MARCO (B) protein expression was examined by immunofluorescence microscopy. Bisbenzimide was used for nuclear counter-staining (blue). The figures show representative results from one of three independent experiments. Scale bar: 20 μm.Back to article page
