This dataset is a collection of fluorescent images from mice in order to test an automatic cell counting tool that we developed. 62 images viewed from 2 or 3 different fields of views are shown. In brief, the dataset was derived from brain sections of a model for HIV-induced brain injury (HIVgp120tg), which expresses soluble gp120 envelope protein in astrocytes under the control of a modified GFAP promoter. The mice were in a mixed C57BL/6.129/SJL genetic background, and two genotypes of 9 month old male mice were selected: wild type controls (Resting, n = 3) and transgenic littermates (HIVgp120tg, Activated, n = 3). No randomization was performed. HIVgp120tg mice show among other hallmarks of human HIV neuropathology an increase in microglia numbers which indicates activation of the cells compared to non-transgenic littermate controls.
