Chitosan Feasibility to Retain Retinal Stem Cell Phenotype and Slow Proliferation for Retinal Transplantation
Figure 7
Immunostaining of proteins expressed by RSCs grown on ChM and polystyrene surfaces for 11 days. Expression of protein: cytokeratin 8/18 on ChM (a) and polystyrene (d), nestin on ChM (b) and polystyrene (e), PAX6 on ChM (c) and polystyrene (f), alpha-SMA on polystyrene (h) and ChM (i). Alpha-SMA protein expression of fibroblasts (g). Polystyrene surface and fibroblast were used as controls; (g) is taken in 20x microscopic field and the rest are in 10x microscopic field.
