  • Median immunointensity in all neurons is shown regardless of whether they were IB4+ or IB4− (column 3). Numbers and percentages of neurons in different groups, defined by CV and sensory properties (columns 1 and 2), which showed weak positive (20–40%) or strongly positive (≥40%) or all positive (≥20%) immunostaining for IB4 binding are shown.
