Figure 2: Microglial activation and astrogliosis in cortices of Hexb−/− mice during development.

(A) Immunostaining of coronal sections for CD68 (green) and Iba1 (red) in the cerebral cortices of Hexb+/− and Hexb−/− mice during development from 2 weeks to 3 weeks. (B) Immunostaining for GFAP (green) in the cerebral cortices of Hexb+/− and Hexb−/− mice during development from 2 weeks to 3 weeks. Insets (a–d) show magnified views of the boxed regions. Blue represents DAPI staining. Scale bar, 100 μm.
