FIG. 6.

The percentage of cells positive for CD34 and MSC markers in heart blood of nude mice. Thirty days after implantation with pure LhCG, Null-t-LhCG, or SDF-t-LhCG, heart blood was collected and used for the determination of the percentage of cells positive for the following markers by flow cytometry. (A) CD34; (B) MSC-positive markers (CD29, Sca-1, CD106, CD73, CD105, and CD44); (C) MSC-negative markers (CD45 and CD11b). *p<0.05; in (B) and (C), * only indicates significant difference between LhCG and SDF-t-LhCG. MSC, mesenchymal stem cell. Color images available online at www.liebertpub.com/tea
