Figure 4. Distribution and engraftment of DMCs administered intravenously in the ileocecal region.

Figure 4

Ir780-labeled DMCs (red) injected intravenously were tracked during the 8 days. After surgical removal of the ileocecal region, samples were cut on a cryostat, counterstained with DAPI (blue), and analyzed under a confocal microscope. Labeled cells migrated towards the inflamed ileocecal region (A), but rarely to the non-inflamed bowel and other organs (kidney, lung, and liver, (B) Ir780-labeled DMCs were observed predominantly in the abscess formed around the CLP site. Images represent 3 independent experiments.
