Fig 2. Osteoarthritic changes in control and α5 CKO mice.

Fig 2

The knee joints were harvested from control (A, C and E) and α5 CKO (B, D and F) 4 weeks after OA surgery and subjected to histological inspection. A-F, representative images of the medial femoral condyle and the medial tibial plateau stained with hematoxylin-eosin (A and B) and Safranin O (C-F). E and F are magnified images of the box of C and D, respectively. Bar, 625 μm for A and B; 250 μm for C and D; 125 μm for E and F. G and H, Mankin and OARSI scores of the medial tibial plateau (G) and the medial femoral condyle (H). The graphs represent average and SD, n = 9/group.
