Characteristics of cultured BMSCs of morphology and immunophenotyping. (a) Morphology and immunocytochemistry staining of BMSCs. (A) The primary cultured BMSCs showed adherence to the culture dish displaying short bar shapes. (B) The 2-3 generations of BMSCs transformed into long spindles with vortex shape. (C) Immunocytochemistry expression of CD44 in the 3rd generation of BMSCs (×100). (b) Flow cytometry analysis of immunophenotype of BMSCs.
