Expression of Neural Markers by Undifferentiated Mesenchymal-Like Stem Cells from Different Sources

Figure 2

Spontaneous coexpression of neural markers by undifferentiated hASCs (P6) after 14 days of culture. NeuN-positive cells ((a): red) were always βIII-tubulin positive ((b): green) as shown in merge (c). Most of cells were βIII-tubulin positive ((d): red), and the few nestin-positive cells ((e), (h), and (k): green) were always βIII-tubulin positive as shown in merge (f), while only in some case they were positive, respectively, for NeuN ((g): red) and GFAP ((j): red) as shown in merges (i) and (l). Bars: 50 μm.
