From: Role of Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF) in Peripheral Nerve Regeneration: Anti-MIF Antibody Induces Delay of Nerve Regeneration and the Apoptosis of Schwann Cells

Fig. 1

Effect of anti-MIF antibody on peripheral nerve regeneration. Regeneration length of the injured peripheral nerve was measured by a pinch reflex test as described in “Materials and Methods.” After sacrifice at the indicated intervals, regeneration length was measured. Regeneration length in the anti-MIF antibody-treated group was significantly shorter than that in the control group at weeks 2, 4, and 6 after surgery (n = 5 for each week) (*p < 0.01). Open bars, non-immune IgG; Closed bars, anti-MIF antibody. The values are expressed as mean ± SD.
