Figure 2. Cleaning of hDRG prior to dissociation.

Figure 2

(a) Extracted ganglia are first cleaned of all visible fat and connective tissue. (b) Dura mater is then removed to expose underlying ganglion and nerve roots and rami. (c) Nerve roots are trimmed so that only the ganglion remains for dissociation. Scale bars represent 1 cm. The human tissue extraction procedures were approved by Mid-America Transplant and IRB waiver was obtained from the Human Research Protection Office at Washington University in St. Louis.
