Fig. 5. Immunophenotype of SCAP.
(A) SCAP and DPSCs express similar osteo/dentinogenic markers and growth factor receptors. SCAP express less amounts of DSP, MEPE, TGFβRII, FGFR3, Flt-1, Flg, and MUC18. +++, strong; ++, moderate; +, weak; −, negative. (B) Double staining of SCAP showing STRO-1 co-expressed with osteo/dentinogenic markers such as BSP, OCN, MEPE and growth factor receptors FGFR1 and TGFβRI. Cell nuclei exhibit in blue fluorescence by DAPI counter stain. Expression of markers showing either in red of green fluorescence. Images are representative data of independent experiments with consistent results.
