Figure 3

Anatomic distribution of transgene expression along the spinal axis. EGFP expression was consistently higher in the cauda equina (CE) than in the rostral parts of the SC. The CE and SC were harvested as one tissue block with the meninges intact, dissected into four portions, CE, lumbar SC ("L"), thoracic SC ("T"), and cervical SC ("C") and subjected separately to Western blotting. Quantitation of expression levels demonstrated a significant difference between the CE and the adjacent lumbar SC (p < 0.01).
