Neuroglobin Over Expressing Mice: Expression Pattern and Effect on Brain Ischemic Infarct Size
Figure 4
In the piriform cortex Ngb-IR was only seen in few cells of WT mice (A-B). Conversely, intense Ngb-IR was seen in cell bodies and processes throughout the piriform cortex of Tg mice (C-D). In WT mice Ngb-IR was confined to 2–3 cell layers of the S1 (E-F) whereas in Tg mice Ngb-IR was seen scatter throughout all cortical layers (G-H). Black arrow exemplifies an Ngb over expressing cell body and black arrowhead over expressing processes.
