Figure 2. Competitive Proliferation of Female versus Male MSCs.

Figure 2

Figure 2

MSCs were purified from a female and from a male donor. Figure A is the general experimental scheme. At first passage, an equal mixture of each was placed into culture in expansion medium that contains 10% of a selected batch of Fetal Calf Serum (40). At second and third passages FISH analysis was performed. At second passage 90-99% of the cells were female while at third passage all of the cells were female. Figure B provides an oversimplified view of the data.
