Figure 5From: Neutrophil mediated smooth muscle cell loss precedes allograft vasculopathy The recovering SMC are donor in origin. (a) native B6-GFP aorta showing fluorescing medial SMC; (b) B6-GFP allograft transplanted into C3H recipient at 5d post-transplant showing scattered, fluorescing SMC within the media indicating their donor origin; (c) B6-GFP allograft transplanted into C3H recipient at 2wk post-transplant showing well organized, fluorescing SMC within the media. Arrow heads demarcate the media. n = 3-4 per time point.Back to article page
