Figure 7From: Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein is involved in human limb development and in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritisStatistical analysis of the ultrastructural in situ hybridization. The two bars on the left depict the mean numbers of gold particles for cartilage oligomeric protein (COMP) mRNA in type 1 and type 2 cells from the area with a macroscopically normal appearance of osteoarthritic (OA) tissue. The two bars on the right show the mean numbers of gold particles in the same cell types taken from the area adjacent to the main defect of OA cartilage.Back to article page
