Improvement of Liver Transplantation Outcome by Heme Oxygenase-1-Transduced Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Rats

Figure 1

Morphological (100x) and flow cytometric analysis of BMMSCs. (a) Morphology of third-passage BMMSCs. (b) Morphology of BMMSCs after transduction with HO-1 in a bright field. BMMSCs exhibited spindle-shaped morphology and were arranged in whorls when transfected with HO-1. (c) Morphology of BMMSCs after transduction with HO-1 in a fluorescent field. Over 85% of BMMSCs after transduction with HO-1 emitted green fluorescence. (d) The proportion of CD29-positive and CD34-negative cells was 97.5%. (e) The proportion of CD90-positive and CD45-negative cells was 93.3%. (f) The proportion of RT1A-positive and RT1B-negative cells was 96.7%.
