Figure 4.
Administration of a FITC-labelled Dextran solution demonstrated the position of trapped MSCs in the pulmonary vasculature. Detection of FITC-labelled Dextran almost immediately after administration indicated that the MSCs were located in the post-arterial but not pre-venular capillaries (A). Cell position did not change 120 min after their infusion (B). FITC: Fluorescein isothiocyanate; MSC: Mesenchymal Stem Cell; Note: Images taken from different animals at each time-point.
