Fig. 2From: CRID3, a blocker of apoptosis associated speck like protein containing a card, ameliorates murine spinal cord injury by improving local immune microenvironmentEffect of CRID3 on the number and status of microglia and infiltrated macrophages in the injured spinal cord as distinguished by IHF. (a-f) Representative images of CD11b (red) and CD68 (green) (a-c) or CD45 (e-f) expression in the spinal cords in sham, SCI (vehicle), and SCI (CRID3) groups. Cells were counterstained with Hoechst 33342 (blue) to visualize nuclei. (g-k) Quantitative analysis of CD45+ (g), CD68+ (h), CD11b+ (i), CD68+CD11b+ (j), and CD45+CD11b+ (k) cells in the indicated groups. Data represent the mean ± SD (n = 6). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 (non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA, followed by individual Mann-Whitney U tests)Back to article page
