Image caption
Transduction of AdV-eGFP/AdV-ZFP-VEGF into the spinal cord. (A) Photomicrographs showing a transverse section of rat spinal cord obtained adjacent to the injury site 10 days after spinal cord injury and AdV-eGFP injection. eGFP signal was detected in both the gray matter and white matter. (B) High-power (63X) confocal images show that the AdV-eGFP vector (green) transfected neurons (NeuN), astrocytes (GFAP), oligodendrocytes (CC1) and endothelial cells (RECA-1). Cells have been counter-stained with DAPI (blue) as nuclear marker. (C) Bar graph displays quantification of transduced cell types ± SEM, as identified by the cell-specific markers NeuN, GFAP, RECA-1 and CC1. (D) Evaluation of AdV-ZFP-VEGF gene transfer. Western blot showed that the NFκB p65 rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizes the p65 activation domain in the AdV-ZFP-VEGF treated animals. The higher molecular weight bands are endogenous NFκBp65 fragments, which are also recognized by the antibody; however, these bands are present in both the control and treatment groups. The lower band (arrow) corresponds to the AdV-ZFP-VEGF and was only present in the treated animals. Lower panel shows actin expression as a protein control. Scale bar: 1000 μm for A; 100 μm for B.
