Figure 1.
(A–D) Immunofluorescence photomicrographs stained with ATF3 antibodies showing dorsal root ganglia (DRG) after sciatic nerve transection (SNT) or dorsal root avulsion (DRA). Note that ATF3 labeling is localized in the nuclei. (A) Shows that the majority of the neurons are labeled 24 h post-operatively. (B) Shows a few labeled neurons (arrows) already after 3 h. (C) Shows that at 24 h there are still only a few labeled neurons (arrows). (D) Shows a labeled (arrow) human DRG neuron three days after a traumatic DRA. (D) Double labeled with neurofilament antibodies. Scale bars 50 μm (A–D).
