SHED-derived HLA-ABC-positive cells purified from primary recipient livers of CCl4-treated mice express hepatocyte-specific genes without host-cell fusion. a Double-immunofluorescent staining patterns for HepPar and human albumin (hALB) in CCl4-injured liver tissues transplanted with SHED. b Flow cytometric analysis of magnetically sorted HLA-ABC-positive (HLA +) cells stained with PE-conjugated anti-human HLA-ABC and APC-conjugated anti-mouse H-K2b antibodies. c Morphology of sorted HLA+ cells. Toluidine blue staining. d Genomic DNA assay. e RT-PCR analysis of hALB and mouse albumin (mALB) mRNAs. f RT-PCR analysis of human hepatocyte-specific genes.
