Figure 7

Fate of mesenchymal stem cells after intrathecal injection 6 days and 21 days post-partial sciatic nerve ligation. Immunohistological staining of the lumbar spinal cord (L4/L5) of partial sciatic nerve ligation (PSNL) animals injected with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU)-labelled MSCs appear red and cell nuclei blue. Cells were only validated as BrdU-positive when also showing a blue labelling. (A) Full spinal cord section 6 days after PSNL. Scale bar represents 1000 μM. (B,C) Representative photographs 6 days after PSNL. Scale bar represents 400 μM. (D,E) Representative photographs 21 days after PSNL. Arrows indicate BrdU-positive cells.
