Figure 3From: Gene expression changes consistent with neuroAIDS and impaired working memory in HIV-1 transgenic ratsRT-PCR validation of increased expression of astrogliosis and microgliosis markers in the hippocampus of HIV-1 Tg rats. The mRNA for the astrocytic marker GFAP, and the microglia markers Iba-1 and CD11b (Mac1) were significantly increased in HIV-1 Tg rats over controls, consistent with the immunohistochemistry results in Figure 2 (n = 6, **p < 0.01, ****p < 0.0001, by t-test).Back to article page
