ITSCs can be efficiently enriched by magnetic cell sorting (MACS) based on the expression of p75NTR. (A) Before enrichment 30.4% p75NTR expressing cells were determined. After MACS only 3.3% cells in the negative fraction and the majority of 76.2% cells in the positive fraction showed the expression of p75NTR. (B, C) p75NTR+ sorted ITSCs formed larger neurospheres and proliferate faster than the negative fractions. (D) Reverse transcriptase PCR analysis showed the expression of the stemness marker nestin and the “pluripotency factors” in both fractions, whereas Oct4A and p75 are only present in p75NTR+ cells. cDNA was normalized using the housekeeping gene β-Actin.
