Dynamics of Acute Local Inflammatory Response after Autologous Transplantation of Muscle-Derived Cells into the Skeletal Muscle
Figure 7
In vivo imaging of a representative animal in subsequent time points. 2.5 × 105 DiD-labeled MDCs were injected into the gastrocnemius muscle (limb on the left). Contralateral limb was injected with the equal volume of vehicle and constituted internal control. Optical imaging was carried out at 10 min, days 1, 3, and 7 after the injection. Read-out scale was unified between the subsequent images, as presented on the right panel. Values in blue rectangles indicate total radiant efficiency of DiD-derived signal measured in subsequent time points in equal regions of interest (ROI).
