Figure 4. The quantification of the number of neutrophils in the injured spinal cord and in the peripheral blood after SCI.

Figure 4

(A,B) Flow cytometry showed CD11bhigh/Gr-1high neutrophil fractions in the injured spinal cord (A) and the peripheral blood (B) at 12 hours after SCI in the mild (50 kdyn), moderate (70 kdyn) and severe (90 kdyn) SCI groups. (C) The comparison of the number of infiltrating neutrophils in the injured spinal cord at 12 hours after SCI in the mild (50 kdyn), moderate (70 kdyn) and severe (90 kdyn) SCI groups, as determined by flow cytometry. *P < 0.05, ANOVA with the Tukey-Kramer post-hoc test (n = 7 mice per group). (D) The number of neutrophils was comparable in the peripheral blood of the mild (50 kdyn), moderate (70 kdyn) and severe (90 kdyn) SCI groups, even after SCI. n.s. = not significant (P > 0.05), ANOVA (n = 7 mice per group).
