Characterization of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) from human peripheral blood. (a) The formation of EPC colonies. Cord-like structures formed by adherent cells. Spindle-shaped cells sprouted from the edges of cell clusters. Scale: 200 μm. (b–d) The fluorescent image showed Dil-acetylated low-density lipoprotein (Dil-acLDL) incorporation (red) and FITC lectin (FITC-UEA-1) binding (green) by EPCs. Scale: 100 μm.
