A, tissue from the contralateral hemisphere showed no observable staining of MMP-2 (arrows; × 40). Bi and ii, stroked brain tissue showing many small microvessels stained positive for MCP-1 (× 40; arrows) C and D, show medium sized microvessels strongly staining for MCP-1; in C the arrow points to a positive vessel next to a negatively stained vessel in the peri-infarcted region (× 40; arrow) and in D, medium sized positively stained vessel in the infarcted region (× 100; arrow). Ei-iii, double immunoflourescence showing co-localization of MCP-1 (red) and CD105 (green) in peri-infarcted stroke tissue (× 100; sections from I06232 were used).
