Characterization of c‐kit+ bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs): C‐kit+ and c‐kit cells (A and C) were sorted using immuno‐magnetic beads from mononucleated bone marrow cells (BMCs). Our sorting method yielded c‐kit+ cells that were 1.6 ± 0.4% (n= 10) of the total BMCs. The isolated c‐kit+ BMSCs exhibited c‐kit immunofluorescence signals (C and D), while the c‐kit cells exhibited little if any c‐kit signals (A and B). Each cell type was detected to have low CD45 signals (B and D). The cardiac myocyte marker α‐Actinin was not detected in any of the cell types (A and C).
