Figure 9 Immunohistochemical detection of type I procollagen in a section of the second part of the biopsy that was investigated in this study (section adjacent to the one shown in Figure 4; counterstaining was performed with Mayer's hematoxylin). A: Low-power overview (insets, position of the high-power photomicrographs displayed in Panels B-G); B: Position of degenerative tendon tissue with formation of microvessels; C: Position of degenerative tendon tissue without formation of microvessels (black arrow, intracellular immunolabeling for type I procollagen); D: Position of a spot with very high density of cells and microvessels (black arrows, intracellular immunolabeling for type I procollagen outside microvessels); E: Position of tendon tissue in the depth of the biopsy (black arrows, intracellular immunolabeling for type I procollagen); F: Position of tendon tissue below an outer surface of the biopsy (black arrows, intracellular immunolabeling for type I procollagen); G: Position of tendon tissue at an outer surface of the biopsy (black arrows, intracellular immunolabeling for type I procollagen).
