For immunohistochemical (IHC) staining of collagen type I (COL I), collagen type II (COL II), collagen type X (COL X), aggrecan (AGG) and osteocalcin (OCN), sections were immersed in 0.3% (w/v) H2O2, and blocked in 5% (v/v) BSA solution. Followed by enzymatic antigen retrieval, the sections were incubated with primary antibodies against COL I (NB600-450, Novus), COL II (NBP2-33343, Novus), COL X (ab58632, Abcam), AGG (ab3773, Abcam), and OCN (ab13418, Abcam). After rinsing with PBS, they were incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated IgG, followed by 3, 3-diaminobenzidiine tetrahydrochloride (DAB) for visualization. Nuclei were counterstained with hematoxylin.

After the deparaffinized sections were prepared, Immunohistochemistry was performed as previously describe53 (link). Briefly, the sections were incubated with primary collagen I antibody ((NB600-450, Novus Biologicals, USA) and osteopontin (OPN) antibody (clone 1B20; Novus Biologicals, USA) at 4 °C for overnight, and then incubated with goat anti-mouse biotin-conjugated IgG (Vector Lab Inc, USA) for 1 h. Subsequently, color reaction was developed with diaminobenzidine (Dako, USA). Finally, the sections were counterstained with hematoxylin and examined under a Leica microscope.
The other five femur condyles in each group were fixed in acetone for 7 days, dehydrated in graded series of alcohol for 3 days each, and embedded in methyl methacrylate without decalcification. The non-decalcified sections, which were parallel to the long axis of the femur, were made on a diamond saw (Leica SP1600) and grounded to about 50 μm in thickness. Finally, the specimens were stained with Van Gieson’s picrofuchsin staining.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
