Dynamin 2 and Oct 3/4 in CT and MTJ region in rat Achilles tendon. Photomicrographs show the histological staining and adjacent consecutive sections of Oct 3/4 (yellow) and Dyn 2 (green) staining in ruptured and control tendons from the CT region (a-f) and MTJ region (g-l). Positive cells for Oct 3/4 and Dyn 2 was seen in both ruptured and control tendons in both regions. All tendon samples are from one or two weeks post-rupture. Positive control tissue for Oct 3/4 staining was human seminoma tissue (m,n) and rat thymus for Dyn 2 (o,p). Cell nuclei stained with DAPI (blue)
