A- Proliferation of 3 different HemSC cultured in EBM-2/20% FBS in presence (closed grey circles) or absence (closed black squares) of α6-integrin blocking mAb over 11 days evaluated by counting cells.
B- Proliferation of HemSC cultured in EBM-2/20% FBS in presence or absence of α6-integrin blocking mAb over 4 days evaluated by measuring cellular phosphatase activity.
C- α6-integrin blocking mAb decreased HemSC adhesion to laminin-coated wells. Adherent cells in the phase images appear round and translucent (original magnification, ×10).
