Effect of exogenous GM-CSF on the ability of CIDP-conditioned Schwann cells to support axonal regeneration. The first group of rats received Schwann cells conditioned with CIDP sera, and the second group received CIDP-conditioned and GM-CSF-treated Schwann cells. a Electrophysiological analysis showed no significant difference between two groups. b Morphometrical analysis was used to analyze number of regenerated axons in nerves. c The second group showed a modest increase in axon count which was not statistically significant. n = 3 rats each group (ANOVA and Student’s t test) (bar = 20 μm)
