Characterization of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Flow cytometry data revealed that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) at passages 3 to 5 stained negatively for CD14 (monocyte marker) and CD45 (hematopoietic marker), but expressed surface markers that are indicative of MSC lineage, including CD44 (hyaluronic acid receptor), CD90 (Thy-1), and CD105 (Endoglin). Isolated MSCs exhibited stem-like properties.
