Figure 9

Microvascular and capillary integrity of the spinal cord in the lesion site and the far-away hematoma. (A) Representative picture of the longitudinal spinal cord section labeled for RECA without ferric-chloride perfusion at 6 h post injury. (B) and (C) are amplified pictures of the boxes in lesion site and hematoma, respectively, showing that small blood vessels were there in the lesion site and in hematoma as well. (D) Representative picture of the longitudinal spinal cord section labeled for RECA after tannic acid and ferric-chloride perfusion, showing nearly no RECA immunoreactivity. (E) and (F) are amplified pictures of the boxes in lesion site and hematoma, respectively, showing that RECA immunolabeling only in the lesion site. Bar = 2 mm in (A) and (D), 50 μm in (B), (C), (E) and (F).
