Figure 10. Expression levels of proteins associated with host repair remain unchanged as a result of hCNS-SCns transplantation.

Figure 10

Biochemical analysis was performed 2 weeks post-transplant in animals that received either hCNS-SCns or vehicle control. A: No changes in Fibronectin protein expression were observed as a result of hCNS-SCns transplantation (2-tailed t-test: p = 0.234). B: Protein analysis of a CSPG protein, NG2, demonstrated no significant differences between transplanted animals and vehicle control (2-tailed t-test: p = 0.477). C: Expression levels of an additional CSPG protein, Versican, revealed no significant differences between the two groups (2-tailed t-test: p = 0.299). D: GFAP protein expression remained unchanged as a result of hCNS-SCns transplantation (2-tailed t-test: p = 0.581). E: PE-CAM1 expression levels were not altered after cell transplantation (2-tailed t-test: p = 0.496). F: β-actin was used as control to ensure equivalent protein loading (2-tailed t-test: p = 0.116).
