Table 2. Acute phase genes expressed in the injured CNS

Acute phase genes displayed transcript changes in injured retina, brain, and spinal cord. Astrocytic, microglial, and neuronal expressions refer to moderate to high transcript levels in cultured astrocytes [17,20], microglia [18,19], and neurons [20].
