Development of Human Mast Cells from Hematopoietic Stem Cells within a 3D Collagen Matrix: Effect of Stem Cell Media on Mast Cell Generation

Figure 2

Expression of c-kit and FcεRI by generated cells from CD133+ hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in a collagen matrix after seven weeks in culture. The figure shows the gating scheme (top panel) and representative density plots of the isotype control and expression of phenotypic markers (middle and bottom panel, resp.). More than 90% of the cells are gated in the bottom left corner of the isotype density plots. The bar graphs show the percentage of c-kit expression. Data are represented as mean ± SD; . indicates .
