Figure 4.
Effects of the culture medium on cell morphology and antigen expression. (a–c) Cells cultured in MesenCult for 1 month display highly refringent nuclei, gingko biloba leaf-like shapes, and CD45, CD11b, and CD117 expression. (d–f) Cells initially derived in MesenCult and then changed to DMEM-FCS 10% show less refringent nuclei, rhomboid shapes, and decreased subsets of CD45+, CD11b+, or CD117+ cells.
