DT and clodronate liposome injections:

DT (lot number 15043A1, diluted in PBS; List Biological Laboratories) was administered via i.p. injection on day 22 (50 mg/kg mouse) and day 21 (15 mg/kg) of the priming period prior to i.t. LPS as described previously (39). Mice harvested on day +5 also received a DT dose (15 mg/kg) on day +2 after i.t. LPS. Clodronate liposomes (Cl2MDP) or PBS liposomes (control) were prepared as previously described (8), followed by o.p. instillation (60 ml) on day 23, and i.p. injection (500 ml) on days 22 and 21 of the priming period.

Retrogrde Tracing:

Retrograde labeling of graft neurons extending axons to caudal spinal cord segments was conducted by injecting 1 µl CTB (1% solution; List Biological Laboratories, Campbell, California) into bilateral C6/7 spinal gray matter in four Fischer 344 rats that had undergone C4-CST lesions and grafts of NPCs into the lesion site. CTB was injected 6 weeks after lesion and grafting, and animals were perfused 3 d later.
