GFP expressing astrocytes in the mouse brain hippocampus

This image of the mouse brain CA1 region of the hippocampus show green fluorescent protein (GFP) expressing astrocytes, colocalized with astrocyte marker S100beta (magenta) and nuclei marker DAPI (blue). This is 3 weeks post peripheral injection of an innovative astrocyte-specific adeno-associated virus.
