Gene expression analysis of proliferation and prosurvival genes in and Sca-1+ cells. Quantitative real-time PCR based gene expression analysis of a proliferation-specific gene (Ki67) and antiapoptotic gene, Bcl2 to compare and Sca-1+ cells. Fold change in gene expression is with respect to Sca-1+ cells. (; value < 0.05).
