AVP receptor blockade partially reverts the decreased claudin-5 expression in the CNS of EAE rats. (a) Representative blot showing changes in the expression of the tight junction protein claudin‐5 in the brain and spinal cord of EAE group (EAE) and EAE conivaptan-treated group (CO) as compared with the intact controls (IC). (b) Graphs show the normalized optical density (OD) of protein expression for claudin‐5 in the IC, EAE and CO groups. A 220‐kDa band stained with Ponceau red was used for normalization of claudin-5 expression. Mean ± SD, *p ≤ 0.05 as compared with the intact control.
