BrdU, 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine; DRG, dorsal root ganglion.
The averages shown are the weighted averages ± SEM (pooled variance).
Means ± SEM of the percentage of BrdU+ cells expressing Mac387 surrounding DRG neurons were calculated as follows: (number of BrdU+Mac387+ cells/total number of BrdU+ cells) × 100.
Means ± SEM of the percentage of BrdU+ cells expressing CD68 were calculated as follows: (number of BrdU+CD68+ cells/total number of BrdU+ cells) × 100.
Means ± SEM of the percentage of Mac387+ cells expressing BrdU were calculated as follows: (number of BrdU+Mac387+ cells/total number of Mac387+ cells) × 100.
Means ± SEM of the percentage of CD68+ cells expressing BrdU were calculated as follows: (number of BrdU+CD68+ cells/total number of CD68+ cells) × 100.
