Preclinical Studies with Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stromal Cells in Different Animal Models for Muscular Dystrophy

Figure 2

Presence of human nuclei at recipient dog muscle after umbilical cord MSCs transplantation. Scattered human cells into biceps femoralis (B312) of affected female L3F2 identified by the antihuman nuclei antibody MAB1281. Preparations were counterstained with 4′, 6-diamidino-2phenylindole (DAPI). (a–c) human muscle; (d-e) nontransplanted canine muscle; (g-h) B312 from L3F2. Insets in (g-h) show details of human nucleus. Images were acquired with the same exposure time and magnification of 200x.
