Figure 2

CFA induces p38 MAPK activation in the ipsilateral spinal cord dorsal horn at different time-point. A-E. Immunohistochemistry shows p-p38 MAPK IR cells in the L4-6 ipsilateral spinal cord dorsal horn of Control rats (A), CFA rats at 3 d (B), 7 d (C), 14 d (D) and 21 d (E). F. Quantification of p-p38MAPK IR shows that CFA induces p-p38 MAPK IR cells expression in the L4-6 ipsilateral spinal cord dorsal horn after day 3–14. **P<0.01 vs. group Control, n=3-5. All data are expressed as means±SEM. Scale bars: 100 μm, section thickness: 30 μm.
