Fig. 3.

Rat PMVEC do not home to the kidney following transplantation. Shown are representative confocal images of freshly suspended PMVEC labeled with cell tracker red in vitro and imaged before transplantation (A). There were no labeled cellular structures in the kidney at either 2 h (B) or 2 days (C) posttransplantation. D: fluorescently labeled cells in spleen with a similar size and fluorescent intensity of preinfused PMVEC (white arrows). Similarly, labeled structures were readily apparent in lung (not shown). Magnification is shown in A.
