摘要
The lipophilic dye PKH26 that binds irreversibly to cell membranes has been used to label various cell types in vitro prior to transplantation in order to recognize grafted cells posttransplantationally in the host tissue by fluorescence microscopy. The purpose of the present study was to optimize immunocytochemical staining procedures for PKH26-containing specimens in cell culture and after transplantation into rat brain. We demonstrated that freeze-thawing allowed for proper immunostaining of intracellular epitopes whereas PKH26-labelling was preserved. PKH26-labelled donor cells were detectable at least up to 4 months after transplantation in the host brain.
