Figure 2From: Gene expression profile and synovial microcirculation at early stages of collagen-induced arthritisFunctional capillary density. Shown is the functional capillary density of the synovium in complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA)/collagen II exposed FVB/NJ, DBA1/J and T-cell receptor (TCR) transgenic mice (collagen +) in comparison with CFA treated controls (collagen -). Intravital fluorescence microscopy of the knee joints was performed at 6 weeks after collagen exposure for induction of arthritis. Values are expressed as means ± standard error (n = 5–10 animals/group).Back to article page
