Cartilage associated gene/protein expression of repaired cartilage in vivo. (a) Real-time PCR for COL1A1, COL2A1, COL10, SOX9 and ACAN of the defects at 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 26 weeks and 52 weeks after transplantation; n=6. (b) Western blot results of COL1A1 and COL2A1 at different post-transplantation time, respectively. (c) Normalized expression of COL1A1 and COL2A1 in response to WB analysis; n=6.
