Description: Cholinergic motoneurons (magenta) and complement protein C1q (cyan) expression in the cervical spinal cord of an adult mouse after spinal cord injury. Montage was obtained with confocal microscopy with a 40x oil immersion objective. Immunohistochemistry was performed on 40um coronal sections of wild-type mouse spinal cord tissue. Antibodies against Choline Acetyltransferase (ChAT, magenta), complement protein C1q (C1q, cyan), and neuronal nuclear protein (NeuN, yellow) were used to visualize neurodegeneration after complement system activation after injury.
