Sulforaphane Upregulates Cultured Mouse Astrocytic Aquaporin-4 Expression through p38 MAPK Pathway

Figure 1

Identification of cultured mouse astrocytes by immunofluorescence. Immunofluorescence was utilized to identify the second passage astrocytes with the specific marker of the astrocytes, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). It showed that the cultured astrocytes are GFAP (+) cells with different sizes and shapes. Statistically, the purity of the cultured astrocytes was more than 99%, a level suitable for experiments.
