One cause of axial back pain is degeneration of the nucleus pulposus (NP) of the intervertebral disc. This study was undertaken to investigate associations of NP cells with cell surface-specific proteins that differ from proteins in closely related cell types, i.e., intervertebral disc anulus fibrosus (AF) cells and articular cartilage (AC) chondrocytes, in order to identify potential surface molecules for directed delivery of therapeutic agents.
