Flow cytometric analysis of cell-surface antigens of rat BMSCs at passage 3. (a) The positive rates of CD90, CD44, CD31, and CD45CD surface antigen expression in BMSCs were 99.57, 85.66, 6.0, and 0.35%, respectively. (b) Cells stained positive for oil red O and alizarin red and low-passage BMSCs showing adipogenic and osteogenic potential, respectively.
