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.
