CK19-positive cells are representative of immature hepatoblasts and cholangiocytes migrating within the transplanted grafts after 2 weeks. In the cell and cell/prednisolone groups, the large aggregates of CK19-positive cells are present. Higher magnification (small square) showed that they had a hepatocyte phenotype. Extensive C-kit-labeled oval cell migration was detected by immunohistochemistry in all the grafts after 2 weeks. Higher magnifications were observed in small squares. Con: control
