Figure 6. Myospheres contribute to regeneration of muscle.

Figure 6

Donor myosphere cells expressing GFP were injected into the TA muscle of CTX injured mdx mice. Two weeks after injection the mice were sacrificed. Cross-sections of the injected TA muscles were stained for laminin (detected by Alexa 647) and GFP positive fibers (indicating incorporation of donor cells) were detected using a narrow bandpass GFP filter, which greatly minimizes autofluorescence [44]. Laminin is shown in red (left panel), GFP in green (center panel), and the merging of the laminin and GFP (right panel). Scale bar represents 50 μm.
