Flow-cytometric analysis of the adherent blood-borne cells from implanted tubes indicated a distinct population of CD34-positive cells on the capture surface. (A) Following extraction from the cell-capture tube, adherent mononuclear cells (MNCs) were analysed for surface expression of CD34 (the left-hand region of smaller platelets was excluded from analysis). (B) Immunofluorescent flow cytometric analysis of captured cells revealed a distinct population of MNCs positive for CD34 (arrow, subpopulation represents 38% of total MNCs) when compared to cells stained with isotype control antibody (bold line).
