Figure 5. 6mer HA and 40 kDa HA has no significant effect on Smooth muscle actin or Tenascin C expression during wound repair.

A: Cross sections of 7 days old wounds were stained with Smooth muscle actin specific antibodies as described in Materials and Methods. Positive stained area was quantified by image analysis using ImageJ. Graph shows Mean±SE of N = 18 (6 sections, three areas/section). B: Cross sections of 7 days old wounds were stained with Tenascin C specific antibodies as described in Materials and Methods. Positive stained area was quantified by image analysis using ImageJ. Graph shows Mean±SE of N = 18 (6 sections, three areas/section).
