Flow Cytometric Analysis of Cationic Colloidal Magnetite-Isolated Sinusoidal Cells Obtained from WT 18-Hour CIT Liver Transplanted into EGFP Recipients
Cell Type | Cell Marker | Percentage of Total Cells Isolated from Sinusoid* | Percentage of EGFP+ Cells† |
---|---|---|---|
LSECs | SE-1 | 42.0 ± 5.0 | 4.1 ± 2.1 |
Large vessel endothelial cells/LSECs | CD31 | 43.8 ± 7.0 | 0.4 ± 0.3 |
Leukocytes | CD45 | 54.6 ± 7.5 | 41.2 ± 2.8 |
Macrophages | ED2 (CD163) | 9.30 ± 8.5 | 4.1 ± 3.6 |
Sinusoidal cells were isolated 3–7 days after WT liver (18-hour CIT) OLTx into EGFP+ recipients using the cationic magnetite isolation protocol. Cells were then analyzed for specific cell markers* using FACS and for dual positive cell marker/EGFP signal.
Results are given as the mean ± standard deviation (n = 3).
