Table 3.

Amount of immunopositive cells at different survival times after human SCI

Control 2–8 days 10–11 days 24 days 4 months
Epicentre Int. Zone Epicentre Int. Zone Epicentre Int. Zone Epicentre Int. Zone
OPC (NG2) +++ 0 +/++ 0 +++ 0 +++ 0 0/+
CD68 0/+ +/+++ +/++ +++ ++ ++++ + 0/+ 0/+
CD68/NG2 0 +/++ + ++ + +++ + 0 0

The figures reflect the number of immunopositive cells using an arbitrary rating scale from 0 (no cells) to ++++ (very high incidence of cells) in sections from control spinal cords and the lesion site at various survival times after SCI stained for the different antigens.
