Yokukansan Improves Mechanical Allodynia through the Regulation of Interleukin-6 Expression in the Spinal Cord in Mice with Neuropathic Pain

Figure 5

Typical example of the distribution of interleukin- (IL-) 6 in the dorsal horn of the lumbar spinal cord in mice with mechanical allodynia induced by partial sciatic nerve ligation (PSL). The sections of the lumbar spinal cord are double-immunostained with IL-6 (green) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) ((a) red), ionized calcium-binding adaptor molecule 1 (Iba-1) ((b) red), or NeuN ((c) red). Scale bars = 10 μm.
