Laser microdissection (LMD) enables isolation of lumbar motor neurons. a Nissl-stained axial sections of the lumbar spinal cord before (lower left image) and after microdissection (lower right image) of the boxed areas in the upper image. b The identity of neuronal cells isolated by LMD were confirmed by their expression of the motor neuron marker ChAT and not oligodendrocyte (CNPase) or astrocyte (GFAP) markers. Scale bars: 100 μm (a, upper panel); 20 μm (a, lower panels)
