Neurofilament-histomorphometry comparison in the evaluation of unmyelinated axon regeneration following peripheral nerve injury: an alternative to electron microscopy

ConclusionsThe neurofilament staining method correlates with electron microscopy estimates of the same nerve sections. It is useful for the efficient counting of unmyelinated axons in the regenerating peripheral nerve and can be used by laboratories that do not have access to EM facilities.
