From: Absence of IFNγ expression induces neuronal degeneration in the spinal cord of adult mice
Light photomicrographs of spinal cord ventral horn of C57BL/6J and IFNγ-KO mice from semithin sections stained with toluidine blue. (A) Ipsilateral (lesioned) side and (B) contralateral (unlesioned) side of C57BL/6J mice. (C) IFNγ-KO ipsilateral side shows some motoneurons with hyperchromatic changes in the cytoplasm and nuclei (arrows). (D) IFNγ-KO contralateral side with pyknotic neurons found among at normal neurons (asterisk). (E) The number of degenerated motoneurons in axomized animals. Scale bar: 50 μm
