In Vivo Tracking of Systemically Administered Allogeneic Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Normal Rats through Bioluminescence Imaging

Detection of Luc-GFP-BMSCs in tissues at one month after injection. (a) The expression of the firefly luciferase gene was detected via RT-PCR. β-actin was used as a loading control. Target gene expression was not found in the lungs, kidneys, or skin. . Representative images of at least three independent experiments. (b) Immunohistochemistry detection of GFP. The absence of GFP-positive cells verified the BLI results at one month after injection ().
