Subarachnoid Transplant of the Human Neuronal hNT2.19 Serotonergic Cell Line Attenuates Behavioral Hypersensitivity without Affecting Motor Dysfunction after Severe Contusive Spinal Cord Injury
Figure 10
Gridwalk errors/footprint analysis and graft of hNT2.19 or hNT2.6 cells in severe contusive SCI. Gridwalk errors (a), stride length (b), base of support (c), and foot rotation (d) before and at the end of the experiment (day 56) after SCI or laminectomy, with or without transplant of hNT2.19 or hNT2.6 cells at 2 wks after injury. Data show no significant recovery of gridwalk errors, stride length, base of support, or foot rotation with the addition of graft of either cell line, compared to SCI alone. Data represent the mean value + SEM ( animals in each group). Laminectomy alone or laminectomy plus either cell line graft had no effect on gridwalk error or footprint scores.
