  1. Gene expression of three consecutive coronal sections of TTC-stained hemispheres. The contralateral non-infarcted hemispheres of the vehicle-treated group acted as internal controls. Values of these hemispheres were therefore set to 100%. All other values (infarcted hemisphere vehicle-treated group, infarcted and non-infarcted hemisphere of the Solulin cohort) were expressed as percentages of the latter. RT-PCR values were normalized to the housekeeping gene HPRT and cyclophilin A. All mRNA levels are given as means ± SD.
