Morphology and characterization of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) from peripheral blood. (A) Mononuclear cells (MNCs) were isolated and plated on fibronectin-coated culture dish on the second day. (B) 7 days after plating, adherent EPCs with spindle-shape and cell colony were shown. (C) EPCs joined end to end exhibited cord-like structure. Identification of EPCs. (D) Double-positive for CD133 and CD34; (E) Double-positive for CD133 and KDR.
