a Photomicrographs of duct-like structures generated from hPSC-derived cholangiocytes in the liver of TK-NOG mouse after 6 weeks of transplantation. HE and DAB staining with human specific antibodies. Scale bar represents 50 μm. b Confocal image of a histological section in the liver of TK-NOG mouse after 6 weeks of transplantation showing duct structures with primary cilia (green) counterstained with CK7 (red) and DAPI (blue). Scale bar represents 20 μm. c Confocal image of a histological section in the liver of TK-NOG mouse after 6 weeks of transplantation co-expressing human CK19 (red) and mouse CK19 (green). Scale bar represents 50 μm. d Confocal image of histological section showing duct structures in the kidney of NSG mouse showing human CK7 (red). Scale bar represents 100 μm. e Left: high magnification image of confocal microscopy demonstrating that hPSC-derived cholangiocyte display co-localization of CK7 (red) with acetylated α-tubulin (green) in the mouse kidney subcapsular space. Scale bar represents 20 μm. Right: high magnification image of confocal microscopy demonstrating that hPSC-derived cholangiocytes display co-localization of CK7 (red) with human mitochondria (green) in the mouse kidney subcapsular space. Scale bar represents 50 μm.
