Representative photograph of IHC staining of MSCs in each group (n = 10). Anti GFP antibody (ab183734) -labeled MSCs were concentrated in the portal vein region under microscopy images (× 100, scale bar = 100 μm). a a few of IHC positive cells (brown) in the liver tissue and portal area of the group I. b There are a small number of IHC positive cells in the portal area of the group II. c There are IHC positive cells in the liver tissue and portal area of the group III. d There are a large number of IHC positive cells in the liver tissue and portal area of the group IV. e Quantitative analysis revealed that transplanted MSC in the group II (9.8 ± 2.53) was significantly increased compared to the group I (2.4 ± 0.84) (P < 0.01) and transplanted MSC in the group IV (37.1 ± 5.11) was significantly increased compared with other groups (P < 0.01). All values are expressed as the mean ± SD. **P < 0.01; n = 10
