A (a) Human antigen-specific vimentin staining of a JCC sheet-treated sample. Red arrowheads indicate regenerated cartilage. Blue arrowheads indicate host cartilage. Bar: 500 µm (b) Magnified area of regenerated cartilage with human antigen-specific vimentin staining. Bar: 200 µm. B Double staining of human vimentin (red) and type II collagen (green). DAPI + Ph: DAPI and phase-contrast image to show nuclei (blue with white edge). The right panel shows the merged image of human vimentin, type II collagen, and DAPI. Bars: 200 µm. A histology sample of 4 weeks after treatment is shown.
