Immunohistochemical staining was used for detection of collagen type II (Col2), collagen type X (Col10), matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP13), sex-determining region Y box 9 (Sox9) and runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2). Samples were incubated for 10 minutes in 3% H2O2 (Sigma-Aldrich, MO, USA) to remove endogenous peroxidase activity. Incubation with 10% diluted goat serum (Solarbio, Beijing, China) was used to minimise nonspecific protein binding. After antigen preparation using Multipurpose Digestive (Boster, Wuhan, China), sections were incubated with primary antibodies against mouse Col2 (Abcam, ab34712, 1:100), Col10 (Abcam, ab58632, 1:50), MMP13 (Abcam, ab39012, 1:100), Sox9 (Abcam, ab26414, 1:50) and Runx2 (Abcam, ab23981, 1:50) at 4°C overnight. The sections were then incubated with a biotinylated secondary antibody (Abcam, ab6721, 1:200) followed by development using a 3,3’-diaminobenzidine chromogen. Images were taken using a Nikon E800 microscope (Nikon, Melville, NY, USA). Positive cells in two different fields of view within a single section were enumerated by a blinded experimenter. The percentage of positive cells was calculated as the ratio of positive cells to total chondrocytes present in the section.

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.
