Biological Characteristics of Fluorescent Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Labeled Human Dental Pulp Stem Cells

Figure 1

Isolation and characterization of human dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs). (a) The morphological observation of primary culture expanded dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs). (b) Odontogenic/osteogenic differentiation of DPSCs. (c) Adipogenic differentiation of DPSCs. (d and e) Representative flow cytometry analysis of cell surface markers in unlabeled and labeled hDPSCs. Cell surface markers (d) on unlabeled hDPSCs in P3 and (e) on MIRB-labeled hDPSCs in P3. Data show that both labeled and unlabeled hDPSCs are negative for CD34 and CD45 while they are positive for CD29, CD90, and CD44.
