Site-Specific Distribution of CD68-Positive Microglial Cells in the Brains of Human Midterm Fetuses: A Topographical Relationship with Growing Axons

Figure 7

Immunohistochermistry for CD68 and PCNA. Panel (a) (CD68) and panel (c) (PCNA) display near sections (15 weeks) including the anterior end of the putamen. Panels (b) and (d) are higher magnification view of the central parts of panels (a) and (c), respectively. The CD68-positive cells (panel (a)) appear to overlap with a reticular configuration of PCNA positive cells. Note the frontal cortex expressing PCNA strongly (panel (c)). Panels (a) and (c) (or (b) and (d)) were prepared at the same magnification (scale bar in panels (a) and (b)).
