Flow cytometry surface expression studies of CD200, CD273, and CD274 in UCX and BM-MSCs. (a) Representative histograms of staining for the three surface proteins in UCX (grey lines) and BM-MSCs (black lines) and respective isotype controls. (b) Graphical representation of the percentage of cells positive for each surface protein from 3 different samples of each cell type (between passages 5 and 7) and presented as mean s.e.m. A higher percentage of UCX cells constitutively express CD200, CD73, and CD274 when compared to BM-MSCs.
