A. Representative CAP (mV) recordings from a negative control (dashed lines) and a PEG fused (solid lines) allograft pre-injury (thinner lines) and within 5 min after ablation of a 1 cm segment, insertion of a 1 cm donor segment without (negative control: thicker dashed line) or with PEG-fusion (thicker solid line) of both severed ends microsutured to the proximal or distal ends of the host sciatic nerve. SA = arrow points to peak of stimulus artefact. CAP: arrow points to peak amplitude of compound action potential
B. CAPs (mV, mean ± SE) recorded pre-injury and immediately post-repair plotted for 4 groups: Negative controls recorded at VU (n=12), and UT (n=6), PEG-fused at VU (n=13) and UT (n=6).
