Fig. 1 Localization of FITC-ODN transfection. The H group (A) resulted in an efficient and diffuse transfer of FITC-ODN into nuclei of the myocytes in the myocardium. Transfer was less efficient and diffuse in group L (B). The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery 1997 113, 512-519DOI: (10.1016/S0022-5223(97)70364-7) Copyright © 1997 Mosby, Inc.

Fig. 2 Efficiency of FITC-ODN transfection. A, Percentage of FITC-stained nuclei of myocytes in the H group (75% ± 14%) was significantly higher than that in the L group (7% ± 5%). B, The H group (979 ± 1128 FI/gm) showed significantly higher intensity of FITC (FI/gm ventricular wet weight) than did the L group (116 ± 68 FI/gm).

Fig. 3 Efficiency of transfection of β-galactosidase The hearts in the H group (A, original magnification ×80) showed apparent histochemical expression of β-galactosidase on the myocytes. However, no such expression of β-galactosidase was seen in group L (B, original magnification ×80).

Fig. 5 The efficacy of the gene transfection of Mn-SOD. The percentage recoveries of control value of left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVDP; S vs C, 86% ± 3% vs 54% ± 12%) and coronary flow (98% ± 2% vs 66% ± 12% ) were significantly higher in the Mn-SOD transfected group (S) than in the control group (C).
