Beneficial Effects of Human Mesenchymal Stromal Cells on Porcine Hepatocyte Viability and Albumin Secretion

Figure 2

Hepatocyte viability and function after freezing and thawing. (a) The upper panel presents the bright-field image of thawed hepatocytes in culture after 3 days, the middle panel presents viable cells (FDA staining), and the lower panel presents nonviable cells (PI staining). (b) Albumin was measured by ELISA in the supernatant of cultured hepatocytes at days 4, 8, and 11. The experiment is performed in duplicates.
