Figure 8From: Intratracheal transplantation of human umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells attenuates Escherichia coli-induced acute lung injury in miceBacterial Growth in vivo (A and B) and in vitro (C). Bacterial colony forming units in BAL fluid (A) and blood (B) at 1, 3, and 7 days after injury in the E, F, and M groups. Data: mean ± SEM. (n = 10, 5, and 10 in the E, F, and M groups, respectively). (C) Bacterial colony forming units in media after 6 h incubation of E. coli with culture media only (E), fibroblasts (F), and human UCB-derived MSCs (M). Data: mean ± SEM. (n = 8, 8, and 8 in the E, F, and M groups, respectively).Back to article page
