Description
The image shows a 3D-rendering (Imaris software) of a live confluent culture of NIH-3T3 cells obtained using confocal microscopy. The cells were co-transduced with 5 fluorescent proteins and with Lentiviral Gene Ontology (LeGO) vectors expressing Cerulean (blue), EGFP (green), Venus (yellow), tdTomato (magenta) or mCherry (red) fluorescent proteins to provide combinatorial colors for progeny tracking. Groups of nearby cells of the same color descended from same stem cells. This image is grouped with two others obtained using a similar imaging strategy. See also Malide et al. (2012) Dynamic clonal analysis of murine hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells marked by 5 fluorescent proteins using confocal and multiphoton microscopy. Blood. Dec 20;120(26):e105-16.
