Popis: We examined brain sections from ICAM-1 deficient mice (−/−) and their nontransgenic littermates (+/+) after focal cerebral ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) for the presence of apoptosis. Despite the reduction in necrosis, the −/− mice had apoptotic cells in the ischemic hemisphere as shown by terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end-labeling (TUNEL) staining and DNA laddering. ICAM-1 deficiency minimizes necrosis but not apoptosis after temporary MCAO in mice, thereby leaving the potential for delayed neuronal cell death despite ICAM-1 inactivation.
