Isolation of Small SSEA-4-Positive Putative Stem Cells from the Ovarian Surface Epithelium of Adult Human Ovaries by Two Different Methods
Figure 5
SSEA-4-positive cells isolated by FACS from the suspensions of cells brushed from the ovarian cortex biopsies (ovarian surface epithelium). (a–d) Small, round cells with diameters of up to 4 μm (inverted microscope, Hoffman). Red Bar: 10 μm. (e) FACS-sample; SSEA-4-positive cells represented 1.6% of all cells. (f) FACS-isotype control.
