Figure 2

The distributions of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) injected into rats intravenously or intraperitoneally. A. The distribution of MSCs injected intravenously. A1. The accumulation of MSCs in the lung tracked by two-photon fluorescence confocal imaging. Red symbolizes red fluorescent protein (RFP); Green symbolizes autofluorescence of the lung. Magnification: × 200, × 600. A2. MSCs did not co-localize with macrophages in the lung, as observed by immunofluorescence microscopy. Red symbolizes RFP; Green symbolizes ED-1 of macrophages. Magnification: × 600, × 1800. B. The distribution of MSCs injected intraperitoneally. B1. The accumulation of MSCs in the spleen tracked by two-photon fluorescence confocal imaging. Red symbolizes RFP; Green symbolizes autofluorescence of the spleen. Magnification: × 200, × 600. B2. The majority of MSCs co-localized with macrophages in the spleen, as observed by immunofluorescence microscopy. Red symbolizes RFP; Green symbolizes ED-1 of macrophages. Magnification: × 600, × 1800.
