Fig 2. Fibroblast activation marker expression in control capsule and frozen shoulder.
Graphs illustrate Modified Bonar scoring & % of cells positively stained for samples of human capsule biopsies for expression of CD248, CD146, VCAM, PDPN, CD34 and FAP, mean ± SEM, n = 10 for control capsule, n = 10 for frozen shoulder capsule. Modified Bonar scoring system depicts mean score per sample based on 10 high power fields. 0 = no staining, 1 = <10%, 2 = 10–20%, 3 = >20% + ve staining of cells per high power field. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 (Students t-test).
