Figure 1. H&E staining of coronal sections of rat muscles.

Figure 1

Rats were injected with either PBS, rAAV-GFP, or rAAV-NDI1 in the skeletal muscles. Muscles (tibialis anteriors) were collected at 1 week (1w) or 1 month (1 m) and were stained with Hematoxylin-Eosin (H&E) solutions and infiltrated cells were counted. (A) Representative images of muscle sections from each group after H&E staining. (B) Comparison of the number of infiltrated cells. The histogram shows the number of small mononuclear cells per field of view in the sections separated by at least 90 µm (n = 4 for rats, n = 6 for muscle sections from each animal). Results are expressed as mean ± SD. ** p<0.01 from the respective control (Student's t-test).
