Figure 7. Pattern of mRNA expression of neurotrophic factors and myelin proteins in spinal cords of rats.

Figure 7

FISH analysis of neurotrophic factors and myelin proteins depicting sham control, injured, and hUCB-treated samples in the dorsal white matter region. Sequential serial sections hybridized with FITC-conjugated oligonucleotide antisense probes for NT3, BDNF, MBP and PLP were photographed using confocal microscope as described in Methods section. hUCB treated sections show colocalization (yellow) with Texas-red conjugated CD44 antibody, specific for hUCB. Inset shows representative Hoechst -33342 stained images. Scale Bar = 100 μm. Results are from three independent sections caudal from the injury epicenter (n ≥ 3).
