Formalin induces NR1 phosphorylation. A) Forty-five minutes following intraplantar formalin in the right hind-paw, there is a significant increase in pNR1 levels in the ipsilateral spinal cord dorsal horn (SCDH) of non-vector treated (n=5; 76%, **P<0.01) and vector MM-6 (n=5; 64%, *P<0.05) animals compared to the contralateral sides. pNR1 levels are not increased in the either sides of the SCDH of vector 6 treated animals (n=5). B) An example of the western blot is shown for pNR1 and actin expression in left and right SCDH for a non-vector treated animal, a vector MM-6 injected and a vector 6 injected animal.
