Neuroprotective and Antiapoptotic Activity of Lineage-Negative Bone Marrow Cells after Intravitreal Injection in a Mouse Model of Acute Retinal Injury

Figure 2

In vivo monitoring of injected cell in damaged retinal tissue. A representative SD-OCT image of an injured retina on the 7th day after Lin⁻BMC transplantation (a). The green lines on the OCT images (left side) indicate the boundaries of tissue depth displayed in an en face two-dimensional fundus projection (right side). The depth-dependent fundus image at this time point shows injected cells in the vitreous. The cells were uniformly distributed and were homogenous in appearance. The SD-OCT analyses on the 28th day (b) and the 3rd month (c) showed the absence of the injected Lin⁻BMCs in the vitreous cavity.
