  1. For all antibodies, sections were pre-treated in sodium citrate solution (pH 6.0) microwaved at 800 W for twelve minutes. All primary antibodies were incubated overnight at 4 °C, except for anti-Iba1, CD68 and GFAP which were incubated for an hour at room temperature, and anti-GFAP ∂ which was incubated for 48 h at 4 °C. *Previous studies using DCX in human tissue studies.
