Embryonic hepatocyte transplantation for hepatic cirrhosis: Efficacy and mechanism of action

Figure 5 Tracking E15 hepatocytes. A: Using fluorescence microscopy, in vitro E15 hepatocytes demonstrated strong green fluorescence 2 d into the culture period with the carboxyfluorescein diacetate and succinimidyl ester fluorescent label; B: Cells in frozen liver tissue sections (2 wk following transplantation); scattered green fluorescent markers were observed; C: No fluorescent cells were observed in the frozen liver tissue sections of the untreated cirrhotic group. Scale bars: 20 μm.
