Comparison of laminin basement membrane intensity. Intensity of laminin in the basement membrane of the normal (a), STSG (b), Matriderm® (c), and AlloDerm® groups (d); 400x magnification, 100 μm scale bar; immunostaining technique; laminins have a central role in formation, the architecture, and the stability of basement membranes, thus making them essential for basement membrane assembly. There was a significant increase in laminin expression intensity in the STSG, Matriderm®, and AlloDerm® groups compared with the normal group.
