Figure 4From: Benefits of Recombinant Adeno-Associated Virus (rAAV)-Mediated Insulinlike Growth Factor I (IGF-I) Overexpression for the Long-Term Reconstruction of Human Osteoarthritic Cartilage by Modulation of the IGF-I AxisExpression of IGFBPs and IGF-IR in rAAV-transduced human articular cartilage. Primary human normal and OA cartilage explant cultures were transduced with either rAAV-hIGF-I or the control rAAV-lacZ vector, as described in Figure 3, and processed after 90 d to detect the expression of IGFBP3 (A), IGFBP4 (B), IGFBP5 (C) and IGF-IR (D). Magnification 20×. All are views of the middle zone.Back to article page
