Comparisons of dermal distribution between SNIt and Sham. At POW1 after (a, c, e) SNIt and (b, d, f) Sham, the footpad sections were immunostained with antisera against (a, b) PGP9.5, (d, e) GAP43, and (g, h) NF200. Dermal distributions between SNIt and Sham were quantified by the temporal changes of the morphological patterns in (c) PGP9.5, (f) GAP43, and (i) NF200 expressions, which were represented as SENFs Area (mean ± SD; n = 5 at each POW after SNIt and Sham). Student’s t test was applied to examine the differences against the results of Sham at each time point. Two-way repeated measures ANOVA was also performed following the Bonferroni’s post hoc test. Scale bar = 50 µm.
