Expression of Nestin, NeuN, Tie-2, IL-10 and TGF-β in brain at day 14 after tMCAO. A, B Representative western blots and quantification of NeuN, nestin and TGF-β in peri-infarct and ischemic core vs. contralateral side. C, D Representative western blots and quantification of Tie-2 and IL-10 in peri-infarct and ischemic core vs contralateral side. All markers were normalized to β-actin. Ischemic core; n = 7, peri-infarct; n = 5. AU arbitrary units, *Significant differences between peri-infarct or ischemic core and contralateral (p < 0.05). The presented western blot images are cropped and the full-length blots/gels are presented in Additional file 3: Figure S2 (Nestin and NeuN) and Additional file 4: Figure S3 (Tie-2, IL-10 and TGF-β)
