Effects of 18B12 treatment on T lymphocytes. (a, l) Spinal cord sections from sham-operated mice expressed basal levels for CD8β, (b, m) for CD4, and (c, n) for CD45. (d, e, f, g, h, i, l, m, n) 18B12 treatment reduced the amount of positive staining for T lymphocytes with respect to spinal cord injury (SCI) mice. The figure is representative of at least 3 experiments performed on different experimental days. Data are expressed as percentage of total tissue area. Data are mean ± SEM of 10 mice from each group.**p < 0.01 vs sham; ^# p < 0.1 vs SCI
