Fig. 3From: Binocular pattern deprivation interferes with the expression of proteins involved in primary visual cortex maturation in the catCRMP2 and CRMP4 protein expression analysis. Visualization and analysis of the relevant spots from the 2-D DIGE experiments containing CRMP2 (a) and CRMP4 (c); semi-quantitative Western blotting for CRMP2 (b) and CRMP4 (d). Overall, the CRMP2 expression increased with age and was not different in BD animals as compared to age-matched normal controls. The level of CRMP4 in normal controls decreased towards month 4 and again increased at the age of 6 months, and was higher in all BD animals as compared to age-matched normal controls. Asterisks above bars denote significant differences (P < 0.05) for a given region between age groups of a given condition (normal or BD). Numbers above BD-related bars denote the % statistical difference between BD and age-matched normal control groups (P < 0.05). Results are means with ± SD.
