Fig 4. Diminished number of NP and AF cells in APOE-knockout rabbits.

Fig 4

MTT assays were used to determine the number of viable cells that were immediately isolated from lumbar NP and AF tissues of APOE-knockout and wild-type rabbits. The recorded number of viable cells per milligram of wet tissue [cell number/milligram tissue] showed lower numbers of viable cells in NP and AF tissues of APOE-knockout rabbits (KO-NP and KO-AF) as compared to that in NP and AF tissues of wild-type rabbits (WT-NP and WT-AF). Box plots with whiskers min. to max. show the number of viable cells per milligram of wet tissue. Three independent MTT assays were performed in duplicate for each sample and significance was set at p < 0.05.
