Western blot analysis of pERK activation in spinal cords subjected to CFA-induced peripheral reinflammation. Western blots of spinal cord tissues from animals in the neonatal CFA group, neonatal saline group and the naive group revealed varied immunoreactivity against different isomers of pERK 10 min after reinflammation (A). The intensity of the total ERK was the same in the three groups. A significant increase in pERK activity was found in the spinal cord tissues of animals in the neonatal CFA group compared with the neonatal saline group and the naive group (* P < 0.05) (B).
