Figure 3From: Reduced inflammation accompanies diminished myelin damage and repair in the NG2 null mouse spinal cord Distribution of PDGFR alpha, CD11b, and PDGFR beta immunoreactive cells in injured spinal cord white matter. Panels A-D show the distribution of PDGFR alpha positive OPCs (green) at 1 (A, B) and 6 (C, D) weeks after demyelination insult. Panels E-H present CD11b immunoreactive myeloid cells (green) at 1 (E, F) and 6 weeks (G, H) post-injury, while panels I-L show PDGFR beta positive cells (green) at 1 (I, J) and 6 weeks (K, L) post-injury. The first and third columns show sections from wild type mice at 1 and 6 weeks, respectively, after demyelination insult. The second and fourth columns show sections from NG2 null mice at 1 and 6 weeks, respectively, after demyelination insult. Blue: DAPI. Scale bar = 100 μm.Back to article page
