Long-Term Safety of Transplanting Human Bone Marrow Stromal Cells into the Extravascular Spaces of the Choroid of Rabbits

Figure 3

Transplanted hBMSCs identified in the EVSC 10 weeks following transplantation. Frozen sections of rabbit eyes removed 10 weeks following transplantation of nonlabeled hBMSCs were stained with anti-human nuclei antibody (red, (h) and (i)). White arrows highlight some of the transplanted cells. Sections stained with DAPI only (no antibodies, (a), (b), and (c)) or incubated with secondary antibody only (d), (e), and (f) are presented as control. All sections were counterstained with DAPI (blue). Ab: antibody; CH: choroid; SC: sclera; RE: retina. Scale bar 100 μm.
