Figure 5

Rare human endothelial cells are detected in the kidney after ischemic injury and HSC infusion. (A–B) Confocal images of d28 post IRI kidneys showing the presence of human CD31 expressing cells some of which appear to be integrated into capillaries (arrowhead) (A), but the majority are morphologically monocytic and co-express hCD45 (arrowheads) (B). (C) Graph showing the number of human CD31 expressing cells in the post IRI kidneys with time following adoptive transfer of HSPCs 1day following injury. (D) Specific expression of human von Willebrand factor (vWF) (arrowheads) and not mouse vWF in cells that lack expression of human CD45 in the post IRI kidney (Bar = 50μm).
