Immunohistochemical sections of seeded valve leaflets dual stained for the expression of: cell nuclei (blue) (all), αSMA (red) & HSP47 (green) (a–d), VIM (red) & CD90 (green) (e–h), and CD68 (red) & CD271 (green) (i–l). MNC leaflets (a, e, i) showed positive expression for HSP47, VIM, and CD68. MSC leaflets (b, f, j) and MSC2 leaflets (c, g, k) both showed positive expression for HSP47, αSMA, VIM, and CD90, although the MSC2 leaflets appear to have increased expression. VIC leaflets (d, h, l) showed positive expression for HSP47, VIM, and CD90.
