Figure 9From: Predifferentiated Embryonic Stem Cells Prevent Chronic Pain Behaviors and Restore Sensory Function Following Spinal Cord Injury in MiceImmunohistochemical staining 60 days after media injection (A, C) and ES cell transplantation (B, D). (A) Visualization of NeuN-positive cells in media-injected spinal cord. Arrows indicate neuronal loss in all laminae ipsilateral to injury. (B) Visualization of NeuN-positive cells in ES cell-transplanted spinal cord. Arrows indicate side ipsilateral to injury. Note increased number of immunostained neuronal cells. (C) Visualization of GFAP-positive cells in media-injected spinal cord. Arrows indicate areas of high staining intensity in side ipsilateral to injury. (D) Visualization of GFAP-positive cells in ES cell-transplanted spinal cord. Arrows indicate increased intensity of GFAP staining in only a small area on side ipsilateral to injury and cell transplant.Back to article page
