Figure 6From: Escalated regeneration in sciatic nerve crush injury by the combined therapy of human amniotic fluid mesenchymal stem cells and fermented soybean extracts, NattoDetermination of inflammatory cells and associated cytokines. The nerve tissues were retrieved 7 days after injury and were subjected to IHC with antibodies against CD68, neutrophils, fibrin and ELISA studies of pro-inflammatory cytokines. The representative samples of deposits of macrophages (A-D) and neutrophils (E-H) in injured nerve are shown. The quantitative analysis of macrophages and neutrophils (I), inflammatory cytokines (J), and density of fibrin aggregation (K) is depicted. * p < 0.05, *** p < 0.001. bar length = 50 μm, n = 6.Back to article page
