Figure 5From: Viability of equine mesenchymal stem cells during transport and implantation Analysis of early and late apoptosis and cell metabolic activity after injection through different gauge needles. Data are shown for viability measured immediately after injection of mesenchymal stem cells (n =3) in D10 through 19G, 20G or 21G needles and in non-injected controls (NI). (a) Annexin V-positive cells expressed as a percentage of the total cell population. (b) Propidium iodide-positive cells expressed as a percentage of the total cell population. (c) Metabolic activity of mesenchymal stem cells measured by alamarBlue® (AbD Serotec, Kidlington, UK) assay.Back to article page
