117 THE LOCAL MICROENVIRONMENT OF NERVE ALLOGRAFTS AFTER ANGIOGENESIS 6 Figure 2. Gene expression profiles of paracrine environment including angiogenic and neuro - trophic markers. Expression profiles for angiogenic markers included Cd34, Pecam1/Cd31, Vegfa and Mmp2. Neurotrophic markers included Pmp22 and Ptn. Expression levels for Gdnf and Ngf were < 0.02, thus considered non-detectable. Gene expression profiles are shown for autograft, allograft and allograft wrapped around with a superficial inferior epigastric artery fascial (SIEF) flap, and were normalized to Actb. *Indicates significance at P < 0.05, **P < 0.01.
