Evaluation of CCL21 role in post-knee injury inflammation and early cartilage degeneration
Fig 6
CCL21 synthesis was increased in response to MMD compared sham-operated knees.
Immunohistochemistry staining was performed using antibodies against rat CCL21 antibodies for both sham- (A) and MMD- operated knees (B and C), collected from rats at day 3 (A and B) and 4 weeks (C) post-surgeries. Representative images of histology sections collected from Sham- (A) and MMD-operated knees (B and C), brown color represents CCL21 positive areas. Arrowheads show some of CCL21 positive stained areas. The small squares on the left panels represent the areas magnified 20x on the right panels. T. tibia plateau, F. femur condyle, ST, synovial tissue. A, B and C images were taken using 1.25x microscope lenses.
