Conditional ablation of NPCs does not affect functional blood flow during reperfusion. A, Representative OCT images revealed no significant difference in baseline functional vascular network between wild-type and TK transgenic mice, suggesting a lack of transgene effect on the development of cerebrovasculature. B, There was also no significant difference in cerebral blood flow in the ipsilesional hemisphere during 1 h after reperfusion between TK transgenic mice treated with vehicle and those with GCV. N = 3–6/group.
