Fig. 1. Iba-1 in rat cells, identified with polyclonal goat (A, C, E), monoclonal rabbit (B, D, E) antibodies. A–D. Brain preparations (arrows indicate microglia). E–F. Convoluted seminiferous tubules. Arrows point to Iba-1-containing cells in the interstitium, double arrows indicate such in the germinal epithelium, asterisk — in the tubule's lumen. Scale: 50 microns (A, B, E, F), 20 microns (C, D)
