Vital marking of articular chondrocytes by retroviral infection using green fluorescence protein

Objective One of the main open questions in chondrocyte transplantation is the fate of the implanted cells in vivo. We intended to establish prerequisites for such studies in animal models and to show the feasibility of this approach in rabbits. Isolated articular chondrocytes were retrovirally mark...
