Intramuscular injection of AAV9CMVCre leads to expression of tdTomato in ventral spinal cord motor neurons. (A) ChAT positive motor neurons within lamina IX of the spinal cord. (B) AAV9CMVCre transfected motor neurons expressing tdTomato. (C) Merged image of (A) and (B) shows colocalization of ChAT positive neurons and tdTomato expression (arrow shows inset *). (D) The percentage of ChAT labelled motor neuron expressing tdTomato in the ventral horn of the spinal cord. AAV9CMVCre intramuscular injection tranfects 51.2% of ChAT-positive neurons in lamina IX on the ipsilateral injected side (Ipsi-). On the contralateral side (Contra-) there was no co-labelling between ChAT motor neurons and tdTomato expression. Data shown as scatterplot with mean. Scale bar in (A) = 50 µm and applies to images in (B) and (C).
