Occurring of In Vitro Functional Vasculogenic Pericytes from Human Circulating Early Endothelial Precursor Cell Culture

Figure 2

Time-course cytofluorimetric analysis of pericytic profile (CD146+/PDGFRbeta+/NG2+). Dot plot of CD146/PDGFRbeta (a) and PDGFRbeta/NG2 (b) coexpression in cells at different time points. Cells were analysed at time zero (PBMCs, just isolated not seeded), and after seeding (CFUs-Hill/early EPCs) at 7, 14, and 21 days. The dot plots are representative of 4 independent experiments. The table displays the total of cells with CD146+/PDGFRbeta+/NG2+ pattern at different times as indicated.
