Figure 11From: Predifferentiated Embryonic Stem Cells Prevent Chronic Pain Behaviors and Restore Sensory Function Following Spinal Cord Injury in MiceES cells in vitro. Live culture pictures (A, C, E). (A) Free-floating embryoid bodies. (C) Differentiation induction, neural progenitors sprouting from embryoid body. (E) Neural network of differentiated cells. Immunocytochemical staining of cultured ES cells (B, D, F). (B) GFP-positive embryoid body viewed under fluorescence microscopy. Mitotic, histone H3-positive cells were visualized with Texas red. (D) Neural network. Staining against synapsin. (F) Double immunostaining of RA differentiated ES cells. Positive staining against Map-2 conjugated with FITC for green fluorescence indicates neuronal phenotype; LIM-2 conjugated with Texas red for red fluorescence allows further characterization of highly specialized dorsal interneurons.Back to article page
