Reduced innate immune response following P-PFF treatments in vivo. (a) Cells obtained from ipsilateral striatal tissue of 3 dpi injected mice were stained and analyzed by flow-cytometry. Each animal was analyzed individually. Representative FACS plots showing the percentages of CD11b+ cells gated on CD45high leukocytes. (b) Cumulative data showing the percentages of CD45highCD11b+ macrophages in injected animals. Data are pooled from three independent experiments. (c) TNF-α (d) INF-γ and (e) IL-10 levels were measured in ipsilateral striatum homogenates by ELISA. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM of triplicate wells. Data shown for cytokine release are pooled from three independent experiments. Statistical significance was obtained by ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post-hoc test. (b) p < 0,0001 (c) p = 0,0007 (e) p = 0,0001.
