Lentiviruses containing the ABIN1 shRNA (LV-shABIN1) for ABIN1 knockdown and control shRNA (LV-Scramble) were supplied by Genechem (Shanghai, China). Two weeks prior to the establishment of the MCAO/R model, the right cortex of rat was injected with the lentiviruses. The injection sites were as follows: site 1, A-P 1.0 mm; M-L −2.0 mm; D-V −1.2 mm, and site 2, A-P −3.0 mm; M-L −1.5 mm; D-V −1.2 mm [34 (link)]. A total of 2.5 μl of LV-shABIN1 or LV-Scramble were injected into each site.
