Fig. 5From: Effect of platelet mediator concentrate (PMC) on Achilles tenocytes: an in vitro studyProtein expression of SCX and TNMD after PMC treatment. Protein expressions of SCX (red) and TNMD (red) were detected using immunofluorescence. Phalloidin staing (green) displayes the cell morphology. The addition of 1 % PMC to the tenocyte culture medium (b, f) showed significantly increased SCX protein expression in tenocytes. There was no effect on TNMD protein expression. Fluorescence intensity was measured and quantified using the software Image J. (a and e: 0 %, b and f: 1 %, c and g: 5 %, d and h: 10% PMC)Back to article page
