Figure 3. Photomicrographs of coronal
sections of LGN from OHT brains. A: Section stained for CO
histochemistry demonstrates reduced CO activity in ipsilateral eye
layers (Layers 2, 3, 5). B: Serial section stained for GFAP
immunohistochemistry demonstrates denser reaction product in the
contralateral eye layers (Layers 1, 4, 6). C: Section stained
for MAC-1 immunohistochemistry demonstrating uniform labeling
throughout all LGN layers. Arrows point to high power photographs
(100X) are shown and contrast staining in treated and normal eye bands
for CO (D, E), GFAP (F, G), or MAC-1 (H,
I) immunoreactivity. Note astrocytic profiles and processes in F
and lack of labeled profiles in H and I.
