Effect of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells on Xenogeneic T and B Cells Isolated from Lupus-Prone MRL.Faslpr Mice
Figure 2
hMSCs decrease cytokine gene expression in the kidney of MRL.Faslpr mice. hMSCs ( cells/mouse, ) were injected once at the age of 12 weeks. Total RNAs were isolated from the kidney at the age of 9 or 16 weeks (). The expression levels of cytokines were measured by qPCR. versus 9 weeks. # versus hMSC-untreated control (16 weeks).
