Figure 2. Effect of intravenously transplanted NSCs on neurological function deficit and cerebral infarction volume in ischemic stroke rats.

Figure 2

(A) Behavioral performance in the NSS of CMV-bFGF C17.2-, CMV-hrGFP C17.2-, and PBS-treated groups from days 1–28 after ischemia (n = 6, each group). The functional assessment revealed a significant improvement in NSS at 14 days post-MCAO in CMV-bFGF C17.2- and CMV-hrGFP C17.2-treated rats. (B) Brain slices were stained with TTC to visualize lesions (n = 5, each group). (C) The infarction volume was calculated by Image J software and results summarized. No significant differences in the infarct volume in the CMV-bFGF C17.2 group as compared to the CMV-hrGFP C17.2 and PBS groups. The error bars represent the means ± SEM; *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
