Cotransplantation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Immature Dendritic Cells Potentiates the Blood Glucose Control of Islet Allografts

Figure 2

Morphology of immature dendritic cells (magnification ×100; Scale bar = 100 μm.). Mouse bone marrow cells were induced in medium containing GM-CSF and IL-4 for 3 h and only the adherent cells were retained. (a) After 3 days of culture, a large number of colonies were formed. (b) Seven days later, the morphology of cells became irregular, with some irregular spike-like projections on the cell surface.
