Fig. 2From: Tumor necrosis factor superfamily member APRIL contributes to fibrotic scar formation after spinal cord injuryAPRIL KO mice have a reduced fibrotic scar area after SCI. Two weeks following SCI, the fibrotic scar size was assessed in APRIL KO (d–f, n = 9) and WT (a–c, n = 11) mice by evaluating the percent area of PDGFRβ signal within a 2-mm region centered around the injury site (g). The density of PDGFRβ+ cells was not different between WT and KO mice (h). Representative images from a WT and APRIL KO animal are shown with GFAP in red and PDGFRβ in green. n = biological replicates; *p < 0.05 compared to WT. Student’s t test.
