Figure 4 Umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells transfusion promotes polarization of Kupffer cells in the fibrotic liver. Kupffer cells (KCs) were isolated from the liver. The morphology of cells cultured with FITC-labeled ovalbumin showed green fluorescent (A, B) cells that were CD11b- and F480-positive, as assessed by flow cytometry analysis (C). After transfusion with UC-MSCs, CD206-positive KCs increased significantly in a time-dependent manner (D).
