Fig. 5From: Improved yield of canine islet isolation from deceased donorsMorphology and viability of isolated islets. Morphology and viability of isolated islets were evaluated. Islets isolated from both groups (whole pancreas or tail/body only) had healthy capsules and stained deep red with dithizone, which binds to insulin within the islet (top row). Islets were co-stained with a live (green fluorescence) and dead (red fluorescence) stain (bottom row). Islets showed strong green fluorescence and sparse red fluorescence, indicating highly viable islets. Scale bars = 200 μmBack to article page
