Immunohistochemical visualization of TGFβ-1 and BMP2. Using immunohistochemistry only little TGFβ-1was visualized in fibroblasts and tenoblasts, in both control (a) and DSLD-affected (b) tendons. c Reveals hematoxylin and eosin stained cellular foci and whorls in DSLD-affected tendons. d The cells in these foci immunostained strongly for BMP2. No or only little BMP2 was present in acellular areas or masses containing proteoglycans (e) and likewise no or very little BMP2 was identified in cells of the control tendons (f)
