Additional file 3 of Human primitive mesenchymal stem cell-derived retinal progenitor cells improved neuroprotection, neurogenesis, and vision in rd12 mouse model of retinitis pigmentosa

Additional file 3. Tracking of cells transplanted into rd12 retina. (A) Whole-mount retina stained with RCVRN (green) 8 weeks after transplantation of PKH26-labeled (red) pMSCs and RPCs. 500 µm scale bar and 20 µm scale bars (inserts). (Magnification: ×5 and ×40, respectively). (B) Tracking of PKH26 (red) labeled pMSCs and RPCs in the cryosections of the retina at 4 and 8 weeks. Scale bars represent 100 μm. (Magnification: ×20). (C) Graphical representation comparing the average thickness of the retina. Symbols, #, & and $ indicate significant difference at p ≤ 0.01 between all experimental conditions: rd12, rd12+pMSCs and rd12+RPCs, respectively
