Characterization of Myelomonocytoid Progenitor Cells with Mesenchymal Differentiation Potential Obtained by Outgrowth from Pancreas Explants

Figure 4

Effects of the culture medium on cell morphology and antigen expression. (a–c) Cells cultured in MesenCult for 1 month display highly refringent nuclei, gingko biloba leaf-like shapes, and CD45, CD11b, and CD117 expression. (d–f) Cells initially derived in MesenCult and then changed to DMEM-FCS 10% show less refringent nuclei, rhomboid shapes, and decreased subsets of CD45⁺, CD11b⁺, or CD117⁺ cells.
