Fig. 4From: Protection Against Hyperacute Xenograft Rejection of Transgenic Rat Hearts Expressing Human Decay Accelerating Factor (DAF) Transplanted into PrimatesFACS analysis of human DAF expression by ECs from hemizygous and homozygous transgenic rats. Endothelial cells were isolated from heart of wild-type (WT) and transgenic rats, either hemizygous (DAF+/−) or homozygous (DAF+/+). Immunostaining was performed using an anti-human DAF MAb to compare levels of DAF expression on ECs. An anti-rat ICAM-1 MAb and anti-human von Willebrand factor (vWf) antibody were used to assess the purity of EC preparations. Fluorescence was measured on 10,000 cells/sample using a FACS-calibur. Data are depicted in histograms plotting mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) on a log scale (x-axis) versus cell number (y-axis).Back to article page
