Abstract Background Bone marrow BM -derived progenitor cells have been shown to have the potential to differentiate into a diversity of cell types involved in tissue repair. The characteristics of these progenitor cells in pneumonia lung is unknown. We have previously shown that Streptococcus pneumoniae induces a strong stimulus for the release of leukocytes from the BM and these leukocytes preferentially sequester in the lung capillaries. Here we report the behavior of BM-derived lineage negative progenitor cells Lin- PCs during pneumococcal pneumonia using quantum dots QDs nanocrystal fluorescent probes as a cell-tracking technique. Methods Whole BM cells or purified Lin- PCs harvested from C57 BL6 mice were labeled with QDs and intravenously transfused into pneumonia mice infected by intratracheal instillation of Streptococcus pneumoniae. Saline was instilled for control. The recipients .
