Development of a Functional Schwann Cell Phenotype from Autologous Porcine Bone Marrow Mononuclear Cells for Nerve Repair

Figure 12

The growth rate of BM-MNC derived Schwann cells is greater in the higher versus lower passage number of cells. The graph shows the growth rates of low 1–5 passages compared to high 20–25 passages of BM-MNC-derived Schwann cells. Cell growth was determined by the CyQuant-NF proliferation assay. The asterisks (*) represent significantly different ( ) from the low passage cells ( ).
