MG-IgG loaded cells (n = 22) | 0.55% ± 0.65 | −0.60% ± 0.81 | 0.51% ± 0.61 | 0.71% ± 0.82 | 1.24% ± 0.96 | −0.33% ± 0.85 |
MG-457-3 loaded cells (n = 25) | 0.28% ± 1.12 | 0.24% ± 1.21 | −1.48% ± 1.72 | −30.48% ± 2.47a | 0.39% ± 1.20 | 2.14% ± 1.01 |
Percent change of lamellipodial surface area was measured for irradiated and nonirradiated halves of MG IgG (control) and MG 457-3 growth cones over 5 min. As lamellipodia extend and retract over time, the average percent change for untreated growth cones is close to 0% (0.35% ± 0.74, n = 11). Significance was measured by Student’s two-tailed, paired, t test.
p < 0.0001.
