Protein expression and glycogen storage of DPPSC-mediated hepatocyte-like cells. (a, b) Representative fluorescence microscopy images of DPPSC-mediated hepatocyte-like cells at day 22, immunoassayed with antibodies directed against (a) AAT (AF594, red) and (b) ALB (FITC, green) proteins. Hoechst nuclear marker in blue. 200x magnification. (c, d) Representative light microscope images of differentiated and undifferentiated DPPSCs at day 22, respectively, stained with periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) for glycogen storage detection. 100x magnification.
