The immunofluorescence staining of chondrogenic- or osteogenic-related proteins to verify phenotypic functions of chondrocytes labeled by 250 µg/mL magnetic nanoparticles. Chondrocytes stained for nuclei (blue) and α-SMA (green) to show cell morphology (A). Cells stained with chondrogenic related antibodies to collagen type II (B), aggrecan (C), and Sox-9 (D). Stained with osteogenic related antibodiesMMP-13 (E), osteonectin (F), and the negative control (G). Green indicates specific antibodies, blue, the nucleus.
