Neuroprotection in the ischemic striatum following LV-Wnt3a-HA injection into the SVZ 2 days after injury.

<p>A. DNA strand breaks are labeled by TUNEL staining and NeuN immunohistochemistry in the ischemic striatum. B. Wnt3a-HA significantly reduced the number of DNA fragmented cells in the striatum (<i>p</i><0.05). C. DCX⁺ cells manifest extensive expression of BDNF in the ischemic striatum. D. Quantification of BDNF levels in the striatum using ELISA (<i>p</i><0.05).
