TCs characteristics of lung TCs transferred with SV40 (TCsSV40). a SV40 mRNA expression of TCsSV40 cells, as compared with primary lung TCs or SV40-negative cells, b telopodes of TCsSV40 at 2 (b1), 5 (b2), 10 (b3), or 20 generations (b4), c positive staining of c-kit (green) in TCsSV40 at 2 (c1), 5 (c2), 10 (c3), or 20 generations (c4), d positive staining of CD34 (green) in TCsSV40 at 2 (d1), 5 (d2), 10 (d3), or 20 generations (d4), and e positive staining of CD34 (green) and vimentin (red) in TCsSV40 at 2 (e1), 5 (e2), 10 (e3), 20 (e4), 30 (e5), 40 (e6), 50 (e7), or 60 generations (e8), where cell nuclei were stained with DAPI
