In vivo posttraumatic inflammation 8 weeks after cervical SCI. (a) Spinal cord cross-section stained for Iba1 (red), a marker for microglia/macrophages (10x magnification). Inlay (yellow) with arrows (yellow) depicting the cell morphology (40x magnification). (b) Quantification of Iba-1-immunointensity as a surrogate marker for posttraumatic inflammation, expressed in proportion to (fold to) the sham group.
