mRNA expression of certain glial markers in the striatum.

<p>(A) Gels showing amplified cDNA bands for different primers. The cDNA was prepared from the mRNA isolated from the control and treated sides of the striatum of the embryonic stem cells, undifferentiated (ES) and 7 days differentiated (7 d) cell transplanted groups. Ratios of the band intensities for GFAP (B), GDNF (C), IBA-1 (D), CD11b-A (E) and CD11b-B (F) as normalised with hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (HGPRT) and fold change of band intensities of the treated side compared to the control side was calculated for each animal. Results are presented as Mean ± SEM. *<i>p</i>≤0.05 vs control side of the same group, ^#<i>p</i>≤0.05 vs treated side of the ES transplanted group, n = 3.
