Fig. 5From: Mesenchymal stromal cells enhance the engraftment of hematopoietic stem cells in an autologous mouse transplantation modelEffect of Ad-MSC co-infusion in the homing of transplanted HSCs in the recipients’ organs. Two, four, and 24 hours after the infusion of DiD+ LSK cells, the number present in a bone marrow, b peripheral blood, c spleen, and d lungs of recipient mice was determined. The figure represents the proportion of the infused DiD+ LSK cells detected in each organ. White bars, mice infused with LSK cells. Grey bars, mice co-infused with LSK cells and Ad-MSCs. Bars represent standard error of the mean. *P ≤ 0.05.
