Figure Lengend Snippet: a Representative flow cytometry dot plots of isolated cells illustrating the gating strategy to determine profiles based on CD45 low CD11b + for microglia, CD45 high CD11b high macrophages for the central nervous system (CNS)-associated phagocytes, and CD45 high CD11b− cells. b Percentage of CD45 high CD11b high cells in the SNpc (left) and in the striatum (right). Error bars represent ±SEM. ( n = 5 SAL WT, n = 5 LPS WT, n = 6 SAL Snca +/+ , n = 6 LPS Snca +/+ ; Ordinary two-way ANOVA for Genotype vs Treatment; SNpc: Interaction, F (1, 18) = 0.003483; Genotype, F (1, 18) = 79.06, p < 0.001; Treatment, F (1, 18) = 18.48, p = 0.0004; * p < 0.05, **** p < 0.0001, with Bonferroni’s post hoc multiple comparisons test; striatum: Interaction, F (1, 18) = 0.02436; Genotype, F (1, 18) = 52.37, p < 0.0001; Treatment, F (1, 18) = 13.76, p = 0.0016; *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001, with Bonferroni’s post hoc multiple comparisons test). c Percentage of CD45 low CD11b + microglia in the SNpc (top) and in the striatum (bottom).
