Sample size and distribution for neurite retraction assay

Wild type Control 12 −8.7% 6.1% 5 4*
Wild type 1 nM LPA 17 47.5% 4.2% 6 5*
Wild type 10 nM LPA 20 80.1% 5.9% 9 6*
Wild type 100 nM LPA 25 97.2% 0.7% 9 7*

Note: Total number of explants analyzed (n) for each condition along with the mean retraction (%), where negative retraction would be growth, and SEM. In addition, the total number of dishes analyzed as well as the number of animals analyzed for each condition is indicated.

*

For wild type analysis, each experiment represented one or more animals whose retinas were removed and explants pooled for analysis; thus, the number of animals indicated is the number of independent experiments, which is a minimum number of animals.

Abbreviations: LPA, lysophosphatidic acid; SEM, standard error of mean.
