Characterization of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells Isolated from the Testis

Figure 2

Mesenchymal phenotype of isolated tMSCs. Cells expanded from tMSC colony strongly express vimentin both at mRNA level (a) and at protein level (c). Moreover, they do not express VASA (b), a marker of cells originating from the germ lineage. Original magnification: (c) ×630.
