Assessment of MSC and ASC CD profile. (a) Expression of positive markers CD73, CD90, and CD105 was assessed using flow cytometry, along with expression of a panel of negative markers (CD14, CD20, CD34, and CD45) in donor-matched MSC and ASC samples (). Expression was compared to IgG controls. MSC and ASC numbers 1–5 represent donor-matched samples. (b) Expression of CD markers was further compared between ELSC and LLSC with no significant difference in expression identified with time in culture. Plots show representative data from one donor-matched sample and ELSC and LLSC compared to an IgG control.
