Immunohistochemical, Ultrastructural and Functional Analysis of Axonal Regeneration through Peripheral Nerve Grafts Containing Schwann Cells Expressing BDNF, CNTF or NT3
Figure 2
Survival of Schwann cells in reconstituted peripheral nerve grafts.
(A) Low power view showing GFP and S100 positive cellular profiles in a section from the middle of a SC-GFP graft. Higher power views demonstrate: (B) continued GFP transgene expression in grafted SCs; (C) cells positively immunostained with the SC marker S100; (D) arrowed GFP and S100 double labelled cells in a combined image. Scale bars: A = 50 µm; B–D = 20 µm.
