Fluorescent immunostaining for PDGFRα in the lumbar spinal cord at day 9 ( B ) and quantification of the number of positive cells in 0.08 mm 2 ( C ). Scale bar, 100 µm. n = 9–11 mice. D-G . Fluorescent immunostaining for CC-1, Iba1 and GFAP in the lumbar spinal cord at day 9. Scale bar, 100 µm. Quantification of the number of CC-1 positive cells ( E ) in 0.08 mm 2 .area, relative fluorescence intensity of Iba1 ( F ) and GFAP ( G ) in the white matter area. n = 6–8 mice. H . The numbers of white blood cells (WBCs), red blood cells (RBCs), and the percentages of lymphocytes, monocytes, and neutrophils in the WBCs at day 9. n = 4–5 mice. *** P < 0.001.
