Improved locomotor recovery in CCL3^−/− mice after SCI. a Open-field locomotor (BMS) score shows improved recovery in CCL3^−/− compared to wild-type mice after a 50 kdyn contusive SCI at 3, 5, 10, and 14 days. Data points represent mean ± SEM (n = 10 wild-type, 9 CCL3^−/−). *<p value 0.05 by two-way repeated-measures ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc test. b BMS scores of an additional group of female wild-type and CCL3^−/− mice after 40 kdyn injury are not significantly different (n = 15 wild-type, 13 CCL3^−/−). c For the same group as in b, percentage of plantar placement at days 3, 5, and 7 after injury was higher in female CCL3^−/− compared to wild-type mice (n = 15 wild-type, 13 CCL3^−/−). Data points represent mean ± SEM. *** < p value 0.0001, chi-square test
