Popis: Since most transplanted cells rapidly die in an ischemic environment by hypoxia and hyponutrition, it is crucial to know how to protect transplanted cells for improving transplantation efficiency. We examined whether the transduction of an artificial anti-cell death protein (PTD-FNK) into bone marrow mononuclear cells (BM-MNCs) prevents cell death and improves the transplantation efficiency of BM-MNCs in ischemic regions. Rat bone marrow cells were prepared from the femur and tibia and cultured on dishes precoated with human fibronectin in the absence of serum. BM-MNCs transduced with PTD-FNK survived better than those without the protein (P
