Table 4. Loss of dorsal CST axons in the lumbar spinal cords of MOG peptide EAE mice is bilaterally symmetric.
EYFP+ axons were counted in the right and left dorsal corticospinal tracts in L3 spinal cord cross-sections from normal, CFA control and MOG peptide EAE EmxCre/RosaSTOP-EYFP mice. The regression coefficient r2 was close to 1 in each group, indicating little variance between the axon counts on the right and left side in either the control or MOG peptide EAE mice (Snedecor and Cochran, 1989).
