From: Lentiviral vector delivery of short hairpin RNA to NgR1 promotes nerve regeneration and locomotor recovery in injured rat spinal cord

Figure 4

Regeneration of nerves in the injured area. (A) Immunofluorescent staining for the markers of newly formed and mature neurons (β3-tubulin and MAP2, respectively), and of functional neurons (NeuN), which were also identified by Nissl staining at the injury site. (B) Western blot analysis of NeuN, β3-tubulin, and MAP2 protein expression levels. (C) Quantification of the areas of NeuN, β3-tubulin, and MAP2 positive cells. (D) Quantification of Western blot for NeuN, β3-tubulin, and MAP2 expression. Scale bare = 50 μm, *P < 0.05, *,#P < 0.01.
