Fig. 3From: The CD200/CD200R signaling pathway contributes to spontaneous functional recovery by enhancing synaptic plasticity after strokeCD200R was transiently upregulated after ischemic stroke in rats. Representative western blots of CD200, CD200R, and their corresponding normalized control β-actin in ipsilateral sensorimotor cortex at 4 days, 7 days, and 28 days after MCAO (a, c). The levels of CD200R was upregulated at 4 days after MCAO, but MCAO did not influence the expression of CD200 at each time point (b, d). CD200R (red) staining showed protein expression at 4 days and colocalized with Iba1+(green) cells (Iba1: a microglia marker) after MCAO in ipsilateral sensorimotor cortex (e) (n = 3, Scale bar: 20 μm). Results are expressed as means ± SEM. ###P < 0.001, ##P < 0.01, #P < 0.05 versus the Sham groupBack to article page
