Figure 6.

Wound bed VEGF expression is elevated with ASC treatment. (a) Wounds treated with ASCs express significantly more VEGF as measured by ELISA (n = 7, ^*p < 0.05, Wilcoxon test). (b) Western blot staining for VEGF. First lane represents sheep ASCs, next six lanes represent treatment (n = 6) and the remaining 5 lanes represent PBS control (n = 5). (c) Semi-quantitative score of VEGF protein. Error bars represent standard error of mean (^*p < 0.05, unpaired t test).
