Figs. 5-A and 5-B: Photomicrographs of specimens from lymph nodes from a patient who had had a total hip arthroplasty, showing immunohistochemical localization of tumor necrosis factor-α. DAVID G. HICKS et al. J Bone Joint Surg Am 1996;78: ©1996 by The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Inc.
Histiocytes (H) from the contralateral lymph nodes had no immunoreactivity with tumor necrosis factor-α antibody. DAVID G. HICKS et al. J Bone Joint Surg Am 1996;78: ©1996 by The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Inc.
Figs. 6-A and 6-B: Photomicrographs of specimens from lymph nodes from a patient who had had a total hip arthroplasty, showing the immunohistochemical localization of interleukin-6. DAVID G. HICKS et al. J Bone Joint Surg Am 1996;78: ©1996 by The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Inc.
Histiocytes (H) from the contralateral lymph nodes did not demonstrate staining with interleukin- 6 antibody. DAVID G. HICKS et al. J Bone Joint Surg Am 1996;78: ©1996 by The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Inc.
