EphrinB3 is expressed in the human control and TBI brains. Expression of ephrinB3 in uninjured (n = 2) or traumatized (n = 7) human brain samples as detected by Western blotting. The traumatized samples were grouped into tissue collection between 3 and 24 h (acute; n= 6) or >5 days (122 h; n = 1). No differences were observed between acute TBI samples and uninjured controls; however, in the one sample collected from a patient 122 h after injury a reduced level of ephrinB3 was observed despite a high level of expression of β-actin in this sample.
