Figure 6

NSGI mice show clear evidence of human hematopoietic stem cell engraftment. (a) Blood mononuclear cells isolated from transplanted mice were costained for human-specific and mouse-specific CD45 (hematopoietic specific leukocyte common antigen; hCD45 and mCD45, respectively) and showed a robust presence of human cells (circled). Co-staining for (b) hCD45 and CD20 showed the presence of B cells (circled) while costaining of (c) hCD45 and CD3 showed the presence of T cells (circled). (d,e) Human neural stem cells engraft widely throughout the NSGI brain. (d) Human specific nuclear antigen stained cells in cortex. (e) Human-specific nestin-positive cells (red) in the dentate gyrus of the NSG mouse brain 9 months after transplantation. Green GFAP-positive astrocytes are also seen. The scale bars are 25 µm.
