Fig. 8. Injection of aggrecan into mice post-ACL-X in chondro-protective.

Fig. 8

Mice with or without joint injury (ACL-X) were subjected to intraarticular injection (A). Mouse joints without ACL-X injury, but with injection of aggrecan show little difference vs. non-injected joints in terms OARSI score (D). ACL-X injured joints post-aggrecan injection demonstrate an increased level of Safranin O staining in the cartilage surfaces (B) vs. PBS controls (C) and demonstrate a significant reduction in OARSI score (D). Scale bars equal 50 µm.
