G-CSF receptor is neuronally induced upon human stroke. Immunohistochemical detection of G-CSF receptor in the ipsilateral (A) and contralateral (B) cortex of a human brain obtained at autopsy 3 days after onset of ischemic stroke as well as the frontal cortex of an age-matched neuropathologically normal control brain (C). Scale bars: 100 μm. Note increased staining of neurons in the ipsilateral cortex compared with the contralateral cortex and control brain (insets).
