Figure Lengend Snippet: Surface marker expressions and differentiation potential of rabbit bone-marrow-derived stem/stromal cells (BMSCs). ( A ) BMSCs were separately incubated with each surface marker antibody at 4 °C for 30 min and subjected to flow cytometry analysis. Histogram showing the intensity corresponding to the positive staining of each cell surface marker. ( B ) Histogram showing the intensity of the isotype control. The BMSCs displayed a phenotype profile of CD90 + CD44 + CD73 + CD31 − CD45 − . ( C ) Passage 2 adherent BMSCs cultivated in standard culture medium were found to exhibit a fibroblast-like morphology. ( D ) Alizarin red staining, ( E ) Alcian blue staining, and ( F ) Oil red O staining of BMSCs after osteogenic, chondrogenic, and adipogenic induction for 21 days, respectively.
Article Snippet: Aliquots of 5 × 10 5 cells were incubated with each of the fluorochrome-conjugated antibodies against a panel of cell surface markers, including CD31-FITC (AB9498, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), CD45-FITC (MCA808GA, Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA), CD44-FITC (AB 119335, Abcam, USA), CD73-FITC (AB 175396, Abcam, USA), and CD90-FITC (BD 554895, BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA) at 4 °C.
