Whole-body conscious bioluminescence imaging of HIE and sham mice pre- and post-surgery. VSV-G pseudotyped NFκB biosensor was administered at birth to neonatal mice via intracranial injections (n = 22). Conscious whole-body bioluminescence imaging was conducted pre and post-surgery. The mice were split into two groups, HIE mice (n = 13) and sham control mice (n = 9). At P7 of development the HIE mice received surgery and both sets of mice were imaged daily until P19. There was a significant difference in fold change of luciferase expression between the HIE and sham mice over development (mean +/− SD, P < 0.0001). The fold change was specifically seen to be significantly higher (mean +/− SD, P < 0.001) between P14 and P16.
