Figure 5From: Neutrophil depletion reduces edema formation and tissue loss following traumatic brain injury in mice Neutrophil depletion attenuates the number of cleaved caspase-3 positive cells. A) Microphotographs of cleaved caspase-3 positive cells (green) 24 hours after CCI in the cortex and hippocampus. DAPI was used for nuclear staining (blue). Scalebar is 100 μm. B) Quantification of cleaved caspase-3 positive cells in cortex and hippocampus of intact (black bars, n = 7) and PMN-depleted (open bars, n = 7) mice. * indicates significant difference at p < 0.05. Values are mean ± SEM.Back to article page
