Since effective depletion of Sox10 protein upon genetic ablation of the allele is a relatively slow process in adult mice38, we allowed 3 weeks post-TM injection before we subjected both Sox10 conditional knock-out (cKO) and control littermates to excisional wounding, although early enough to limit potential effects of peripheral neuropathy which peaks at 40 days post TM treatment38. This evidence concerns the gene SOX10 and peripheral neuropathy.
