Hepatocytic Differentiation Potential of Human Fetal Liver Mesenchymal Stem Cells: In Vitro and In Vivo Evaluation

Figure 2

Expression of mesenchymal markers in FL-MSCs. Mesenchymal markers (vimentin and nestin) and smooth muscle markers (calponin, desmin, and α-SMA) immunostaining was evaluated using validated corresponding primary antibodies and fluorescence microscopy. Images are representative of several fields examined from the four cell populations. Cell nuclei are stained using DAPI (blue). Negative control: secondary antibody alone. Magnification: 200x.
