Immunohistochemical characterization of the center of the IVD in a rabbit model following transplantation. a Staining with a specific anti-human nucleus antibody shows that cells transplanted into the degenerated disc do not survive at 12 weeks after implantation. b Human chondrocytes were used as a positive control.
