Immunohistochemical staining for receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B (RANK)/RANK ligand (RANKL)/osteoprotegerin (OPG) in cultured annulus fibrosus (AF) and nucleus pulposus (NP) cells. All the cells were cultured in monolayer for 4 days: a-d AF; e-h NP. d, h Isotype controls. Samples were imaged using confocal microscopy. Immunoreactivity (green) is clearly seen in the AF, NP cells. Nuclei are stained with propidium iodide (red). Scale bar 10 μm
