Effects of ImKTx88 on ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 expression. a Representative immunohistochemistry of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 expression in the cerebellar white matter of EAE-induced and ImKTx88 treated rats. The scale bar represents 100 µm. Staining was quantified by mean of the integrated optical density (IOD) (5 random images per section and n = 3). b A representative western blot of cerebellum homogenates and quantification analysis revealed that the levels of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 were significantly increased in EAE-induced rats, and ImKTx88 could decrease the levels of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 (n = 5–12). GAPDH was used as an internal loading control. Data represent the mean ± SEM, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001
