Figure 2

Histological analysis of the tissue are shown by (a) H&E staining of the unseeded graft (400x), (b) immunostaining for cytokeratin AE1/AE3 of the unseeded graft (400x), (c) immunostaining for α-SMA of the unseeded graft (400x), (d) H&E staining of the seeded graft (400x), (e) immunostaining for cytokeratin AE1/AE3 of the seeded graft (400x), (f) immunostaining for α-SMA of the seeded graft (400x), (g) transmission electron micrographs of MCs on the surface of graft (10000x), (h) tight junction between neighboring MCs indicated by an arrow (30000x), and (i) transmission electron micrographs of myofibroblasts (15000x).
