Figure 4From: Flow cytometric characterization of freshly isolated and culture expanded human synovial cell populations in patients with chronic arthritisInfluence of the isolation procedure on the detection of stromal markers. (a) Dot plot showing CD34- allophycocyanin (APC) and isotype staining of viable CD45-positive CD34-enriched cord blood mononuclear cells (CB-MNCs) before and after exposure to the digestion method. (b) Plots showing (top panel) human leucocyte antigen (HLA)-DR- phycoerythrin (PE) staining and (lower panel) forward scatter (FSC)/side scatter (SSC) of viable, CD45-positive peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) before and after exposure to the digestion method. (c) Dot plots showing CD73-PE, CD105- fluoro-isothiocyanate (FITC) and isotype stainings of cultured passage five synovium-derived mesenchymal stem cells. (d) Plots showing CD146-PE and isotype staining in viable (negative for 7-aminoactinomycin (7-AAD) in peridinin chlorophyll protein channel) human osteosarcoma cells before and after exposure to the digestion method.Back to article page
