However, unlike the GFAP vector, the neuron-specific enolase (NSE) vector showed significant reduction of infarct volume in animals that received the rAAV vector (Fig. 6b, c, p = 0.0087) and more significant improvement in the sensory motor tasks at both 2 days and 5 days post stroke (Fig. 6d, p < 0.0001). This evidence concerns the gene GFAP and stroke disorder.
