Effect of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells on Xenogeneic T and B Cells Isolated from Lupus-Prone MRL.Faslpr Mice
Figure 1
hMSCs ameliorate SLE development in MRL.Faslpr mice. MRL.Faslpr mice were intravenously injected with vehicle (PBS, control; ), hMSCs ( cells/mouse, ), or cyclophosphamide (50 mg/kg, ) once at the age of 12 weeks. Survival (a) and body weight (b) were measured every week. The levels of anti-dsDNA IgG (c) and total IgG (d) in serum and the level of proteinuria (e) were also measured. versus control.
