Calf blood pressure ratio immediately after femoral artery excision, and immediately before, immediately after, and 28 days after cell administration. At 28 days there were significant differences between each group in line * and each group in line † (P < .01). There were no significant differences among the groups within each line.

Selective internal iliac angiograms of rabbits at 28 days after injection of vehicle (a) and 2 × 105 (b), 1 × 106 (c), 5 × 106 (e), and 2.5 × 107 (e) AxCAMAssbFGF-tranduced fibroblasts. Arrow, internal iliac artery. f, Development of collateral vessels was quantified by angiographic score. There were significant differences between each group in line * and each group in line † (P < .05). There were no significant differences among groups within each line.

There were significant differences between each group in line * and each group in line † (P < .01 for capillary density; P < .05 for maximum blood flow). There were no significant differences between groups within each line. For blood flow at rest (b) there were significant differences between each group in line ‡ and the vehicle group (P < .05), but no significant differences among the groups within this line.

Distribution of indium 111–labeled fibroblasts in organs and tissues at 5 hours after injection of 1 × 106 cells (a), 5 × 106 cells (b), and 2.5 × 107 cells (c) into the left internal iliac artery. Data are presented as percentage of radioactivity distributed in each tissue relative to total radioactivity of administered cells. d, Cell number of 111In-labeled fibroblasts in above-knee and below-knee muscles of left hind limb, lung, and liver at 5 hours after injection of 1 × 106, 5 × 106, and 2.5 × 107 cells into the left internal iliac artery. *P < AK, Above-knee muscles; BK, below-knee muscles; Lt, left; Rt, right; Kd,; kidney; Ht, heart; Spl, spleen; Test, testis; NS, no significant difference.
