Histological confirmation of transplanted cell location. (A) Hematoxylin and eosin staining of a mid-ventricular tissue section (corresponding to the MTRasym map shown in Figure 4C) reveals the presence of implanted C2C12 cells in the lateral wall of the left ventricle. (B) Higher magnification of the area in the solid black box in A reveals a dense area of implanted cells (dark blue) between areas of preserved myocardium (pink). (C) Wheat germ agglutinin staining with nuclear counter-staining of the area in the small dashed box in A reveals the presence of disorganized engrafted cells (g) adjacent to areas of preserved cardiomyocyte structure (c).
