Figure 4

Detection of transplanted CM-DiI-labeled ASCs at day 14. (a) Immunohistochemistry with VEGF. Brown color indicates VEGF positive staining. (b) CM-DiI-positive ASCs arranged in a vessel-like structure (yellow arrows). (c) Immunofluorescence with vWF. (d) Image in (b) and (c) merged with nuclear stain by DAPI revealed involvement of CM-DiI-positive ASCs in skin graft neovascularization. Scale bar 100 μm.
