Table 1.
Percentages of TUNEL-positive cells and p53 expression in synovial tissue of rats with adjuvant arthritis in different phases of the disease
Expression of p53 | ||
Day | TUNEL-positive cells (%) | (arbitrary units) |
0 | 0.2±0.2 | 6 |
5 | 0.3 ± 0.2 | 13 |
11 | 0.5 ± 0.2 | 98 |
17 | 1.0 ± 0.0 | 153 |
23 | 15.8 ± 5.1 | 173 |
Values are expressed as mean ± standard error of the mean percentages of TUNEL-positive cells in synovial tissue, or as p53 expression in pooled samples of rat joints in arbitrary units.
