In vitro bioluminescence of pig hearts with intracoronary (IC) or intramyocardial delivery of green fluorescent protein (GFP)-Luc-mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). In vitro bioluminescence images of Luc-transfected porcine MSC show epicardial perivascular location of cells after IC injections (upper right) in contrast to intramyocardial delivery (upper left). Highly positive endocardial punctual signals 24 h after intramyocardial GFP-Luc-MSCs delivery (bottom left). Weak confluent signal of GFP-Luc-MSCs on the endocardial surface of the heart after IC delivery (bottom right).
