Immunofluorescent (IMF) staining of Achilles tendons at 14 days post injury. Biomarkers (green) expressed at 14 days post injury were assessed using IMF for sham tendons (left column), control/unwrapped tendons (center column), and dACM-treated tendons (right column). Magnification, 63x oil immersion objective. dACM: dehydrated human amnion/chorion membrane; COX2: cyclooxygenase-2; IL: Interleukin; MMP: matrix metalloproteinase; TGF: transforming growth factor; TIMP: tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases; TNF: tumor necrosis factor
