Development of a Functional Schwann Cell Phenotype from Autologous Porcine Bone Marrow Mononuclear Cells for Nerve Repair
Figure 13
The immunostaining for Schwann cell markers and ATP-responsiveness is decreased in high passage BM-MNC-derived Schwann cells. A representative series of confocal photographs showing Schwann cell marker immunostaining (a) and ATP-responsiveness to (b) within high passage (passage no. 22) BM-MNC-derived Schwann cells. Note there was a reduction in both Schwann cell marker immunostaining (a) and an attenuated ATP-induced response (b).
