Immunohistochemical staining was conducted, as previously described [41 (link), 42 (link)]. Bone segments were treated for antigen recovery through assimilation with 0.05% trypsin at 37°C for 15 minutes, and were then probed using a primary antibody against osteocalcin (Takara) overnight at 4°C. Consequently, an HRP-streptavidin recognition system (Dako) was utilized to distinguish immunoactivity, followed by counterstaining with hematoxylin (Sigma). The segments probed with polyclonal rabbit IgG (R&D Systems Inc.) acted as negative controls.
