Figure 4. Reporter gene imaging of CSCs fate after transplantation.

Figure 4

(A) A representative animal injected with 5×105 CSCs shows significant bioluminescence activity at day 2, which decreases progressively over the following 8 weeks. (B) Detailed quantitative analysis of signals from all animals transplanted with CSCs. Signal activity is expressed as photons/sec/cm2/sr. (C) Estimation of percent donor cell survival plotted as % signal activity (normalized to day 2) over the 8 week period following transplantation.
