Expression of spinal cord NR2A and NR2B protein following peripheral inflammation. Rat lumbar spinal cords were harvested before and after carrageenan induced hind paw inflammation. The tissue was homogenized and run on western blots. The membranes were probed with antibodies that were selective for either NR2A (N = 4 rats per time point) or NR2B (N = 4 rats per time point). Single bands were identified at ~180 kd. The western blots are representative for NR2B and actin. Bars on the graph are means ± SEM of band density data normalized to the control bands. Asterisks indicate p < 0.05 ANOVA followed by Dunnett's test on the raw band densities.
