Objective:
To compare the in vivo immune reaction of transplanting porcine MSC-derived CLC with rabbit cardiomyocytes extracts induced differentiation or in vitro cultured porcine MSC.
Methods:
After injecting the MSC-derived CLC or MSC to the original porcines, the number of CD4+, CD8+ T cells were determined by flow cytometry. The serum concentrations of IL-2, IL-4 were measured by ELISA, and the porcine spleen lymphocyte CTL cytotoxicity was determined by Cell Counting Kit-8 Assay.
Results:
The numbers of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, the serum concentrations of IL-2, IL-4 and spleen lymphocyte CTL cytotoxicity were all similar in porcines received MSC-derived CLC induced by rabbit's CMs extract or MSC transplantation.
Conclusion:
The porcine MSC-derived CLC induced by rabbit's CMs extract did not induce extra immune reaction when injected back to the original porcine.
