iNPC-GDNF spinal cord long-term grafts
(A) Schematic of experiment. Rats (n = 10) were unilaterally transplanted with 100,000 iNPC-GDNFs in three sites 2 mm apart in the lumbar spinal cord, with euthanasia at 3 months (n = 1) and 9 months (n = 9) post-transplantation.
(B and C) Grafts at 9 months were stained for (B) GDNF and (C) pan-GFAP and SC121 with DAPI (blue).
(D and E) SC121 and IBA1 staining (D) and quantification of IBA1+ cells with a paired t test (E) (average per animal, minimum of four sections analyzed per animal). ns: not significant. Scale bars represent (B) 75 μm, (C) 20 μm, and (D) 50 μm.
