Figure 1Bone marrow–derived cells populate the renal tubule. Transplantation of whole bone marrow from Rosa26 mice into C57BL/6J recipient mice results in the spontaneous appearance of β-galactosidase–positive cells (blue) in the tubules of the renal cortex of the transplanted mice after 12 weeks (arrows). Control mice (
a) do not have β-galactosidase–positive tubules.
