Article Snippet: Ectopic expression of PP2A and RACK1 in Treg cells To generate the retrovirus expressing PP2A and RACK1, we first cloned PP2A (OriGene Technologies, MR204384L4) and RACK1 (OriGene Technologies, MR204575L3) into retroviral vectors MSCV-IRES-Thy1.1 (MIT, Addgene 17442) and MSCV-IRES-GFP (MIG, Addgene 20672) respectively, and generated MIT-PP2A and MIG-RACK1 retrovirus in 293T cells by transient transfection.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Identification of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in vitro . CD45 and CD90 were labelled with Cy3 (red) and the cells were stained with DAPI (blue). The results were observed by fluorescence microscopy. (A) CD90 labelled with Cy3 fluorescence; (B) DAPI staining; (C) merged CD90 and DAPI staining. The positive rate of CD90 was >90%. (D) CD45 labelled with Cy3; (E) DAPI staining; (F) merged CD45 and DAPI staining. The positive rate of CD45 was <5%.
