Cellular localization of IL-33 and ST2 in the rat ipsilateral spinal dorsal horn. a Cell type-specific immunolabeling of IL-33 in the ipsilateral spinal dorsal horn tissue shows colocalization of IL-33 immunoreactivity (in red) with NeuN-immunoreactive neurons (in green; panels a–c), GFAP-immunoreactive astrocytes (in green; panels d–f), and olig-2-immunoreactive oligodendrocytes (in green; panels j–l), but not with OX-42-immunoreactive microglia (in green; panels g–i). The arrows indicate the colocalization of IL-33 with the respective cell markers (in yellow). Bars = 50 μm. b The percentage of the cell types expressing IL-33/cit is presented. c Cell type-specific immunolabeling of ST2 in the ipsilateral spinal dorsal horn tissue shows colocalization of ST2 immunoreactivity (in red) with NeuN-immunoreactive neurons (in green; panels a–c), GFAP-immunoreactive astrocytes (in green; panels d–f), and olig-2-immunoreactive oligodendrocytes (in green; panels j–l), but not with OX-42-immunoreactive microglia (in green; panels g–i). The arrows indicate the colocalization of ST2 with the respective cell markers (in yellow). Bars = 50 μm. d The percentage of cellular types expressing ST2/cit is presented
