FIG. 5.

m17.ASCs engraft in NOD/SCID-γ ^null mice. GFP-m17.ASCs in liver sinusoids after intrasplenic injection. Liver sections from mice killed after different time points were stained for GFP (green), TO-PRO3 (blue), and CD31 (red) and analyzed by confocal microscopy, singly or after merging. Cell engraftment was analyzed at 1, 3, and 6 weeks after transplantation and are reported at two different enlargements (a: original magnification 400×; b: original magnification 950×). One representative experiment out of three performed is reported (two animals per group per experiment). GFP, green fluorescent protein. Color images available online at www.liebertpub.com/scd
