Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Flow cytometry analysis on ASCs and on mature differentiated adipocytes for antigen surface markers: the results are shown as box-plots with medians (lines inside the boxes), mature differentiated adipocytes significantly expressed CD105, CD73, and CD90 in comparison with ASCs (* p = 0.0272 for CD105, ** p < 0.0001 for CD73, and CD90; n = 3 experiments). Analysis of variance (ANOVA), Fisher’s PLSD. Right, representative examples of flow cytometric analysis in ASCs and in adipocytes. The numbers indicate the percentage of double positive cells for CD73 and CD90. (B) Representative immunofluorescence for antigen surface markers on mature differentiated adipocytes is shown: higher, differential interference contrast (DIC-Nomarski) combined with DAPI and fluorescence; lower, DAPI with fluorescence; negative, CD34 (green), CD73 (red), and CD90 (green) (magnification at ×400, scale bar = 40 μm). Axioskop-2-Zeiss microscope.
