Figure 2. AAV-IGF-1-promoted motor neuron survival and delayed death in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis mice.
Motor neuron counts in (a) cervical, (b) thoracic, (c) lumbar, and (d) sacral regions of the spinal cord. Kaplan–Meier survival analysis of AAV1-IGF-1-, AAV2-IGF-1-, AAV1-GFP-, and AAV2-GFP-treated animals (e). Mice were scored as dead when they could no longer right themselves within 30 seconds of being placed on their back. Green fluorescent protein (GFP)-treated mice are indicated in green and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1)-treated mice are indicated in red. AAV, adeno-associated virus; WT, wild type.
