Infusion of PBS vehicle (A,D) and keratinocytes (C,F) were associated with less immunofluorescence staining of Claudin-1 in intestinal tissue segments. Infusion of hASCs (B,E) preserved claudin-1 integrity following 12 and 24 hours of reperfusion as noted by more uniform, robust, and crisp staining of claudin-1 at the epithelial cell boarders. hASC = Human adipose-derived stromal cell
