Figure 6. Glial responses in the L5 lumbar spinal cord dorsal horn post-L5Tx or sham surgery in WT and CD4 KO BALB/c mice.
L5 lumbar spinal cord sections were prepared from both WT and CD4 KO mice 7 days post-L5Tx or sham surgery and naïve mice (2–3 mice per group). Immunohistochemical staining for GFAP (astrocyte marker, A) and CD11b (microglial marker, B) were performed separately. Representative photomicrographs of the ipsilateral dorsal horn region of L5 lumber spinal cord are shown here (20x, scale bar = 50 μm).
