Engraftment of ExpLBM-derived chondrocyte sheets in X-SCID rats. A A diagram of ExpLBM-derived chondrocyte sheet transplantation procedures. B The knee joints four weeks after transplantation. C Histological examination of osteochondral defects that have been engrafted with ExpLBM-derived chondrocyte sheets. Four weeks after transplantation, the knee joints were fixed, and tissue sections were stained with H&E, Safranin O, or toluidine blue, or antibodies against human VIMENTIN, COL2, ACAN, or COL1. Representative images are displayed (scale bars: 200 µm)
