TABLE 3.

Macrophages microglia in gray and white matter of spinal cords

Donor cella No. in
total spinal cord gray matter white matter
B6 422 ± 60b 209 ± 30b 213 ± 38
IFN-γ−/− 213 ± 23 56 ± 8 158 ± 20
a

Each group consisted of three individual animals that received CD4 T-cell-enriched splenocytes from B6 or IFN-γ−/− mice. F4/80+ cells in 0.63-mm-wide cross-sections at eight levels within the spinal cords were counted.

b

A significant difference was observed in the numbers of F4/80+ cells in the total spinal cord and in gray matter between recipients of CD4 T-cell-enriched B6 and IFN-γ−/− populations (P < 0.002) as measured by Student's t test.
