BDNF released by T cells from A91- or PBS-immunized rats.

<p>In both cases, T cells were exposed to A91. The levels observed in rats with moderate spinal cord contusion (A) or incomplete spinal cord transection (B) are presented. T_A91 cells released significant amounts of BDNF. ^* Different from PBS (<i>p</i> = 0.01 (A), Mann-Whitney U test; <i>p</i> = 0.02 (B), Mann-Whitney U test). Bars represent the mean ± SD of 5 rats. Data was taken from one of three experiments where the same effect was observed.
