Figure 3

No changes in the number of resident TG macrophages are induced by injection of CFA in the TMJ. Twenty-four (A, A') or 72 hours (B, B') after CFA injection, Iba1 immunostaining (green) of contralateral (CONTRA) and ipsilateral (IPSI) TG showed no morphological changes of Iba1+ macrophages. Nuclei were labeled with the Hoechst 33258 dye (blue). Scale bars: 20 μm. No differences in either the number (C-E) or in the average cell size (F-H) of Iba1+ macrophages were detected in any of the three TG divisions in inflamed compared to saline-injected rats. Since no significant differences between saline-injected rats at 24 h and 72 h have been observed, data have been pooled together, and shown here as "saline".
