Fig. 2From: Dural administration of inflammatory soup or Complete Freund’s Adjuvant induces activation and inflammatory response in the rat trigeminal ganglionpERK immunohistochemistry on the TG. a. Negative control, showing no immunoreactivity. b. pERK1/2 staining in fresh animals. pERK positive nuclei (thin arrow) and nucleolei (thick arrow) can be detected. c. 24 h vehicle group shows weakly increased pERK1/2 immunoreactivity in the SGCs (thin arrow) and in the nucleolei (thick arrow). The TGs were studied at various time points (d-i). Positive immunoreactivity with different intensity can be detected in SGC (thin arrows) in all specimens. Negative SGC can also be seen (thick arrows). At 7 days CFA model, only few negative SGC were observed. Intensely stained nucleolei were also detected (arrow heads), more obvious at day 7 CFA. In the 7 days IS group, a lot of positive neuronal nuclei but no nucleolei were observed (asterisk)Back to article page
