Fig. 4. Differences in nIF mRNA levels between the operated (OE)
and unoperated, contralateral control (UE) RGCs, as measured by
video densitometry from in situ hybridizations performed under standardized
conditions. For each nIF and time period after optic nerve
crush, the difference in the mean intensity/pixel was determined
between the UE and OE RGCs and then averaged among animals
from a given time period (mean SE; n 4 animals for 3–6 days and
9–12 days; 5 for 18–21 days; 2 for 35 days). Levels of nIF mRNA
remain relatively stable from 3–6 days postcrush, when regenerating
axons cross the lesion and enter the optic nerve, from 9–12 days,
when they have reached the optic chiasm, and from 18–21 days, when
they reach and cover the tectum. Data within each of these time
windows were therefore pooled. Image published in: Gervasi C et al. (2003) Copyright © 2003. Image reproduced with permission of the Publisher, John Wiley & Sons. Larger Image Printer Friendly View |
