Table 1.
Region | Populations | CD31 intensity | CD18 intensity |
---|---|---|---|
R1 | MSCs and erythroid progenitors | Negative | Negative |
R2 | Subpopulation of lymphoid cells | Negative | Dim |
R3 | HSCs, EPCs, small subpopulation of myeloid cells | Intermediate | Negative |
R4 | Subpopulation of lymphoid cells | Dim | Intermediate |
R5 | Most of myeloid cells | Intermediate | Bright |
R6 | Monocytoid cells and macrophages | Bright | Bright |
R7 | Plasmacells | Bright | Negative |
R8 | Pop#8 | Intermediate–bright | Intermediate |
Eight separate regions were identified and characterized by combinations of CD31 and CD18 intensity of expression.
EPCs, endothelial precursor cells; HSCs, hematopoietic stem cells; MSCs, mesenchymal stromal cells.
