Figure 4.

Luxol fast blue (LFB) stained transverse cross-sections from the injury site of an uninjured control ( a and b), saline-treated ( c and d) and PcTx1-treated ( e and f) animals. The outlined areas in ( a), ( c) and ( e) are shown at higher magnification in ( b), ( d) and ( f) to illustrate the preservation of myelin in the ventromedial areas of these cords. Note the increased numbers and sizes of myelin-devoid spaces in the saline-treated cord ( d) compared to the PcTx1-treated cord ( f). The saline-treated rat ( c and d) had an initial simplified injury severity score (SIS) of 1.73 and the PcTx1-treated rat ( e and f) had an SIS of 1.9.
