Identification of primary NPCs. NPCs were identified by cell immunofluorescence of type II collagen and aggrecan. The cells simultaneously expressed aggrecan (green fluorescence) and type II collagen (red fluorescence) while still showing a chondrocyte-like phenotype, and were identified as NPCs. Magnification, ×200. NPCs, nucleus pulposus cells.
