Cell sorting by flow cytometry using antibodies to CD34 and CD49b revealed 3 distinct populations in fibroid cells: CD34+/CD34+ (+/+), CD34+/CD49b- (+/-), and CD34-/CD49b- (-/-). +/+ cells had characteristics of somatic stem cells, whereas -/- cells had a well-differentiated phenotype. We hypothesize that +/- are an intermediate cell type between +/+ and -/- cells.
