Additional file 7: of Selective killing of spinal cord neural stem cells impairs locomotor recovery in a mouse model of spinal cord injury

Figure S5. macrophages/macrophages activation affects both GCV-WT and GCV-NestinTK mice. (A) Histological analysis of a SC region located 3 mm far from the injury site from a GCV-WT mice (18 days post injury). Microglia/macrophages are labeled for Iba1 and F4/80. Arrowhead indicates cells that are shown at high magnification in panel A’. Panel B shows the site of the injury in the SC of GCV-WT mouse. Arrowhead indicates cells that are shown at high magnification in panel B′. A representative section of the SC located 3 mm far from the site of the injury from a GCV-NestinTK mouse (18 days post injury) is shown in panel C. Arrowhead indicates cells that are shown at high magnification in panel C′. Panel D shows the site of the injury while the arrowhead indicates cells that are shown at high magnification in D’ (n = 3 for each group). Scale bar 50 μm (TIFF 4124 kb)
