Table 1. Cells recruited by VEGF or by MCP-1 express different markers.
CD31 | CD34 | CD117 | CD14 | CD68 | CD61 | CD11c | |
MG+VEGF | + | + | + | - | - | - | - |
MG+MCP1/CCL2 | - | - | - | + | + | + | + |
Cells infiltrating the matrigel (MG) supplemented with VEGF expressed only hematopoietic stem cells markers and are negative for myeloid lineage markers. On the contrary, cells that migrated into the matrigel supplemented with MCP-1/CCL2 expressed only myeloid lineage markers.
