Figure 4From: Multimodal in vivoimaging reveals limited allograft survival, intrapulmonary cell trapping and minimal evidence for ischemia-directed BMSC homingBLI imaging of dissection specimens 30 min after CV injection of BMSC. 1–5: Bioluminescent BMSC are present throughout the entire lung (3 independent experiments) and in the right heart ventricle (longitudinal (4) and cross-section (5), red bar depicts the interventricular septum). Note that the left ventricle is devoid of luminescent cells. 6–9: No signals are observed in the blood (6), or in other organs (liver (7); spleen (8); kidneys (9)).Back to article page
