Table 3.

Flow cytometry comparison of hMSC surface marker expression of cells cultured within SPHs or on 2D monolayer for 21 days.

Surface marker	2D (%)^†	SPH (%)^†
CD105	77.5 ± 5.0	72.5 ± 6.9
CD90	99.2 ± 1.0	97.5 ± 2.6
CD73	99.2 ± 0.8	98.2 ± 2.1
CD44	99.5 ± 0.3	98.8 ± 0.3

^†

The values listed in the table are presented as the mean values of 3 different donors expressing the indicated cell surface protein ± standard deviation. There is statistical difference between the CD markers (p < 0.001), but no difference between the 2D and SPH samples (p = 0.14).
