Amniotic-Fluid Stem Cells: Growth Dynamics and Differentiation Potential after a CD-117-Based Selection Procedure

Figure 5

Neural marker expression as a proof for the neural differentiation potential. After the neural selection procedure the expression of the neural markers such as (a) α-internexin, (b) βIII tubulin, (c) as well as GFAP can be shown. Secondary antibodies for all primary antibodies are Cy2 conjugated (red fluorescence). Cell nuclei are labelled with the Hoechst dye 33342nuclear stain (blue fluorescence). Scale bar in (a–c) = 10 μm.
