| Description | To reveal whether there are differences in appearance of IGF-I in microenvironment of efferent and afferent axons authors have analysed immunohistochemically the expression of the IGF-I molecules in the intact ventral and dorsal roots of the spinal cord in rat. The results of immunostaining were viewed and digitised in a Leica-DMBL fluorescence microscope equipped with a DC-100 camera. A brightness of fluorescence immunolabeling was measured by means of an image analyzing system (Lucia G). The results revealed a higher IGF-I immunoreactivity in the dorsal roots than in the ventral ones. |
