Co-localization of MSI1 and MSI2 with tau oligomers in AD Brain (a) Epifluorescence images of AD cortex section stained with α-MSI2 (red) and α-tau oligomeric antibody, T22 (green), DAPI (Nuclei, blue). Co-localization was observed in large portion of the tissue. Different distribution pattern was observed. Area positive to MSI1 spot distribution and negative signal of T22 (top graph) and strong co-localization was observed in same cells between MSI1 and T22 in the cytoplasm (bottom graph). The fluorescence intensity was measured and represented as intensity plot profile (DAPI, blue; MSI2, red and TauO, green). These signals have been observed in different sections of cortices (white scale bar: 10 μm magnification, 20X zoomed twice). (b) Epifluorescence images of AD cortex section stained with α-MSI2 (red) and α-tau oligomeric antibody, T22 (green). Different Co-localization grades were evaluated in 3 different ROIs (green squares) (white scale bar: 50 μm, magnification: 40X). Image 1 (MSI2+/TauO-), Image 2 (MSI2+/TauO+) and Image 3 (MSI2+/TauO+) showed different distribution patterns of MSI2 and tau oligomers (white scale bar: 20 μm, magnification: 40X). One ROI from each image (1–3) was selected and the fluorescence intensity was measured which is represented as intensity plot profile (DAPI, blue; MSI2, red and TauO, green)
