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

Figure 5

OX-42 positive cells expressed the GLAST after PNSL. A-I: Under normal conditions, the expression of GLAST was found in astrocytes (D-F), but not neurons (A-C) or microglia (G-I). After PSNL, microglia displayed an increase in both amount and size when compared to the normal group (G, J, M, P). M-S: The microglia was co-localized with GLAST 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.
