Table 2. Summary of Cell Proportion and Phenotypic Characteristics in Cultures Obtained by Rhinotomy (n = 27), Keyhole approach (n = 7) and Rhinoscopy (Cadaver n = 12, Living dog n = 7) at 21 Days In Vitro.
| Proportion of cells for each Immunostaining Marker | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Method | p75+ | Fn+ | unidentified/*GFAP+ |
| Rhinotomy | 48.54 +/- 5.63 | 46.81 +/- 5.95 | 4.64 +/- 1.33 |
| Keyhole | 72.57 +/- 10.25 | 21.83 +/- 7.48 | 5.61 +/- 3.02 |
| Rhinoscopy | |||
| - All dogs | 78.25 +/- 1.81 | 20.62 +/- 1.84 | 1.17 +/- 0.26 |
| - Cadaver | 76.5 +/- 1.94 | 22.9 +/- 1.98 | 0.69 +/- 0.20 |
| - Case | 81.14 +/- 3.60 | 17.23 +/- 3.51 | 1.63 +/- 0.61 |
Data represent the mean ± SEM percentage (%) labeled with each antibody. p75: low-affinity mouse nerve growth factor receptor; Fn: polyclonal rabbit anti-human fibronectin.
*GFAP: polyclonal rabbit anti-glial fibrillary acidic protein. *GFAP was applied to cells obtained by rhinoscopy; non-Fn+, non-p75+ cells obtained by the other two methods are described as unidentified.
