From: Plasticity in expression of the glutamate transporters GLT-1 and GLAST in spinal dorsal horn glial cells following partial sciatic nerve ligation

Figure 4

Activated microglia expressed GLT-1 after PNSL. A-I: Under normal conditions, the expression of GLT-1 was found in astrocytes (D-F), but not neurons (A-C) or microglia (G-I). After PSNL, microglia displayed an apparent increase in both amount and size when compared to the normal group (G, J, M, P). M-S: Microglia showed co-localization with GLT-1 antibody-positive cell in 7 (M-O) and 14 days (P-S) after PSNL, but not at 1 day after PSNL (J-L). Scale bar: (A-S) = 50 μm.
