Bioluminescence results during the 60 days of follow-up. Top panel shows the distribution of the total amount of captured photons/second at six time points during the 60 days after the intravitreal injection of transduced mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) in rabbit eyes (solid line) compared with controls (phosphate-buffered saline (PBS); dashed line). Mean ± standard error (error bars) of bioluminescent levels were obtained from triplicates of eyes at each time point (methodological details are presented in the main text). All readings (from 8 h to 30 days), apart from those at day 60, were significantly higher than controls. Bottom panel shows examples of bioluminescence imaging acquired from eyes injected with transduced MSC (MSCluc; first row) or controls (vehicle/PBS; second row)
