Fig. 2 A bar chart illustrating the extent of microglial immunoreactivity in three different groups: autopsy controls, biopsy controls and contusion biopsy samples. The contusion biopsy group shows an overall increase in the amount of immunoreactivity with both microglial markers CD68 (dotted) and CR3/43 (dashed) as compared to the two control groups.

Fig. 5 Two examples illustrating the image analysis procedure in a non-contused (A–C) and a contused tissue area (D–F). Images of CD68 immunoreactive cells were captured using a X20 microscope objective (A,D). The images were thresholded on the basis of hue and intensity (B,E) and measurements expressed as area of immunostaining divided by area of interest sampled.

Fig. 6 White matter from the frontal lobe of a long term head injury survivor immunostained for the microglial markers CD68 (A) and CR3/43 (B). Note the disparity in the number and size of microglia stained with the lysosomal marker (A) as compared to the MHC class II marker (B). Bars = 50μm.
