Figure 4. Retinal expression of aquaporin
4 and glial fibrillary acidic protein during experimental autoimmune
uveitis. The images illustrate retina without specific lesions (A, B,
and C), with vasculitis (D, E, and F) or with
intraretinal inflammatory infiltrate (G, H, I, J, K, and L).
Retina
was submitted to immunofluorescent staining for aquaporin 4
(AQP4; in green; A, D, G, and J), or to glial
fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP; in red; B, E, H, and K).
Cell
nuclei were stained with DAPI (in blue). C, F, I,
and L correspond to merged images. ILM represents inner
limiting membrane; OLM represents outer limiting membrane; RPE
represents retinal pigmented epithelium. Magnification is 60×.
