Clonal Populations of Amniotic Cells by Dilution and Direct Plating: Evidence for Hidden Diversity

Figure 4

Adipogenic differentiation. Populations of BMMSCp5, PB4A2p19, PB1C4p11, and PB3B5p14 cells were maintained in adipogenic media for 3 to 4 weeks. Representative bright field images show robust adipogenic differentiation in BMMSCs and PB1C4 cell populations as indicated by oil red-O stained spheres. Arrows and inserts indicate very small oil red-O positive spheres in BMMSC, PB4A2, and PB1C4 populations that were not detected in PB3B5 populations. Magnification is identical in all panels.
