Abstract excerpt
The healing of articular surface defects has been studied with conventional histology, which relies on the staining of the extracellular matrix to identify the phenotype of the cells present. A chondrospecific cellular marker would be useful. S-100 protein has been found in all chondroid tissues studied, and we evaluated its usefulness in the study of articular cartilage repair. Full-thickness rabbit femoral...
