Figure 1. COMP production by MSCs cultures during chondrogenic differentiation.

Figure 1

MSCs were transfected with full length COMP cDNA (COMP) or control vector (Ctrl), and induced to undergo chondrogenic differentiation in pellet cultures. Culture media were collected at the days indicated, and COMP protein was detected by immunoblotting using F8 polyclonal antibodies against COMP. Duplicate cultures of each are shown. Immunoblot of purified COMP is shown in the rightmost lane. Increased COMP production was seen in COMP-transfected cells at early culture times.
