Figure 2. Enriched expression of lymphangiogenic cytokines and markers for LECs and HSCs in the culture-isolated pod+ cells.
A through D, The MACS-sorted pod+ and pod− cells from 4 day-cultured BM-MNCs were subjected to qRT-PCR (A, B) and FACS analysis (C, D). Each value is the average of three independent experiments (** P<0.01, * P<0.05, n=4 per experiment). E, The sorted cells were further cultured for 7 days and subjected to immunocytochemistry for LYVE-1 and pod.
