Figure 4. Nav1.8-LI intensity in different neuronal types.

Figure 4

A, scattergraph of the relative intensities of nociceptive and LTM units in all CV groups together shows a much greater median relative intensity in nociceptors (Mann-Whitney test, P < 0.0001). B, the proportions of positive (< 20 %, black) and negative (white) nociceptive and LTM units from all CV groups together are compared (χ2 test, P < 0001). C, neurons are subdivided by sensory modality within C, Aδ and Aα/β CV groups. The borderline between negative (< 20 %) and positive (≥ 20 %) neurons is indicated by the line at 20 % relative intensity. Abbreviations: NOCI, nociceptive neurons; LTM, low threshold mechanoreceptive neurons; UNR, unresponsive neurons; F/G, field or guard hair LTM neurons; RA, rapidly adapting LTM neurons; SA, slowly adapting LTM neurons; MS, muscle spindle neurons; +ve, Nav1.8-LI-positive (≥ 20 %) neurons; -ve, Nav1.8-LI-negative (< 20 %) neurons.
