Figure 2From: NG2 cells response to axonal alteration in the spinal cord white matter in mice with genetic disruption of neurofilament light subunit expressionCD11b staining of spinal cord. In general, less fluorescent intensity of CD11b immunohistochemistry staining was observed in the spinal cord of NFL-/- mice (A, C) compared to that of wild type mice (B, D), especially in the white matter, at both age of 2 and 6 months. The arrows (A, B) pointed regions are the white matter containing the corticospinal tract in the lateral funiculus of the spinal cord of 2 month old mice (C and D are higher magnification photos taken from arrows pointed areas). Bar: 200 μm in A and B; 50 μm in C and D.Back to article page
