Immunization with a Neural-Derived Peptide Protects the Spinal Cord from Apoptosis after Traumatic Injury

Figure 4

Expression of TNF-α seven days after SC injury and PBS or A91 immunization. (a) Representative Western blots of TNF-α expression. (b) Expression levels of TNF-α after densitometric analysis. A91 immunization reduced the expression of TNF-α. *Different from PBS-immunized rats ( ; Student’s -test). Bars represent the mean ± SD of 6 rats. This experiment is one of three in which we observed the same effect. L929 cells were used as a positive control (C+).
