Model: Contusive spinal cord injury in wild-type and C5ar2 knockout mice

Loss of C5aR2 lowered acute intraparenchymal TNF-alpha and IL-6 but worsened outcome, with larger lesion volumes, reduced myelin sparing and poorer functional recovery than wild-type controls, without changes in leukocyte mobilisation or neutrophil recruitment. Acute treatment with the C5aR1 antago…
