Right striatal cell injury 4 and 8 days after blood injection, quantified by MTT assay (Formazan) and extracted dTomato fluorescence, in HO-2 wild-type and KO mice. All values (mean ± S.E.M, n = 7-9/condition) are normalized to those in the contralateral striatum (=100). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 v. corresponding WT condition. Scatter plot demonstrates correlation between MTT and dTomato assay results.
