From: Avidin grafted dextran nanostructure enables a month-long intra-discal retention
(A) IVIS imaging incubation setup to prevent NP swelling while maintaining hydration. (B) IVIS panel representing solute retention of FITC (n = 3), fluorescently tagged Neutravidin (Nu) (n = 3), Avidin (Av) (n = 3), and Dextran (n = 3) in healthy NP explants over 2 weeks. (C) Intra-NP retention as % solutes remaining in healthy NP over 2 weeks. (D) IVIS panel representing solute retention of FITC (n = 3), fluorescently tagged Nu (n = 3), Av (n = 3), and Dextran (n = 3) in degenerated NP explants over 2 weeks. (E) Intra-NP retention as % solutes remaining in degenerated NP over 2 weeks (* vs FITC and # vs NeutrAvidin. Statistical markers are color coordinated with all curves. Also, all the data enclosed within the statistical markers are significantly different). Data analyzed using Living Image 4.3 software.
