Differences in SLI between control (A,C,E) and SNL (B,D,F) axons examined by fluorescent and electron microscopy. A. SLI in control DRG. The characteristic funnel-shaped appearance is shown by white arrows. B. Following SNL, SLI proximal to axotomy appear disorganized, without the characteristic immunofluorescent funnel shape (as in A). Intensity of fluorescence in SLI is lower compared to controls. C, E. Control DRG samples examined by EM. SLI are shown between yellow arrowheads. D, F. The areas of SLI (also shown between yellow arrowheads) are decreased proximal to axotomy following SNL, as also presented in details in Table 1. Axons are marked by red asterisks.
