Noninfarced myocardium of a G-CSF/SCF-stimulated animal. Hearts were explanted 5 wk after induction of myocardial infarction. Bright red immunofluorescence, connexin43; dark red, autofluorescence of myocytes; green, immunofluorescence detection of a fibrous tissue marker (rat anti-reticular fibroblast antibody; see Material and methods).

G-CSF/SCF reduces inducible arrhythmias in the infarcted heart potentially via increased connexin43 expression and arteriogenesis
