From: Flow cytometric characterization of brain dendritic cell subsets after murine stroke
Differentiation of mononuclear phagocytes after photothrombotic stroke (PT) in mice. (A), in both experiments, PT consistently caused a significant increase of CD45high + leukocytes in the ipsilateral (ipsi) hemisphere. (B), subset analysis revealed a strong increase of F4/80+ macrophages which could be further categorized by CD11c and MHCII expression (C; experiment 2, n = 3). (D), monocytes (Mo) and Lin-/CD11c+ cDC also significantly contribute to the inflammatory response to stroke. *p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 by one way ANOVA and Bonferronis’ post-hoc test. Contra, contralateral.
