Figure 1From: Identification of subpopulations with characteristics of mesenchymal progenitor cells from human osteoarthritic cartilage using triple staining for cell surface markersFluorescence activated cell sorting analysis of fresh isolated chondrocytes from osteoarthritic cartilage. (a) Forward/side scatter. (b) Markers were set in the channel display with a maximum of 2% positive cells by staining with isotype control antibody fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated mouse IgG1. (c-e) Triple staining experiments for CD9-FITC/CD90-allophycocyanine (APC)/CD166- phycoerythrin (PE). Panel c shows a histogram of FL1 CD9-FITC. Based on isotype and histogram, cells were divided into positive or negative: panel d, CD9-, double-stained CD90-APC/CD166-PE; and panel e, CD9+, double-stained CD90-APC/CD166-PE.Back to article page
