CB-ECFCs are tolerated after implantation in spleen and muscle immunocompetent mice. 1.10⁶ CB-ECFCs-GFP⁺ were injected into the spleen or muscle in C57BL/6JRj mice. Fourteen days after injection, spleens and muscles were collected and embedded in Tissue-Tek OCT compound. Cryosections of samples were stained (left panels, GFP staining; middle left panels: hCD31 staining; middle right panels, DAPI staining; right panels, merges). Scale bars represent 25 μm. Representative images of 8 mice are shown
