Figure Lengend Snippet: Immunohistochemical staining images showing CD34 expression in ( A ) normal mouse brain tissue and ( B – F ) mouse brain tissue on days 3, 7, 15, 21 and 30 days, following the pTBI. ( A ) CD34 was not expressed in normal mouse brain tissue. CD34-positive cells and blood vessels (brown; black arrows) became visible at the injury site (red arrow) on days ( B ) 3 and ( C ) 7. ( D ) After 15 days, CD34 expression at the injury site (red arrow) decreased. ( E ) CD34 expression at the injury site could not be detected on day 21. Instead, black hemosiderin particles (black arrows) were observed at the injury site. ( F ) Some black hemosiderin particles remained visible at the injury site on day 30. ( G ) Immunohistochemical results of CD34 were analyzed by Image-Pro Plus 6.0 software. The average density (IOD) of CD34-positive cells in normal mouse brain tissue and in mouse brain tissue on days 3, 7, 15, 21 and 30 days, following pTBI. The n = 10/group was used for calculating the average IOD. Comparisons between groups were performed using the Kruskal–Wallis H test followed by Bonferroni post-hoc analysis.

Article Snippet: The sections were first incubated with rabbit anti-mouse PROX1 antibody (1:100; Boster Biological Technology Co., Wuhan, China), rabbit anti-mouse CD34 antibody (1:100; BosterBiological Technology) or goat anti-mouse LYVE-1 antibody (1:100; R&D Systems, Shanghai, China) at 4 °C for 24 h. Next, the sections were incubated with horseradish peroxidase-labeled goat anti-rabbit IgG or rabbit anti-goat IgG secondary antibodies.
