Pericellular colocalisation and interactive properties of type VI collagen and perlecan in the intervertebral disc

The aim of this study was to immunolocalise type VI collagen and perlecan and determine their interactive properties in the intervertebral disc (IVD). Confocal laser scanning microscopy co-localised perlecan with type VI collagen as pericellular components of IVD cells and translamellar cross-bridge...
