Figure 4. 3D microenvironment in AmCA hydrogels augments the lymphoma stem cell population in 3D lymphoma spheroids compared to their 2D cultures.

Figure 4

(A) Flow cytometric analysis of EL4 cells for the expression of the lymphoma stem cell markers c-Kit and Sca-1. Percentages of the cell population expressing c-Kit+/Sca-1+ in EL4 cells cultured under 2D and 3D conditions are presented. Data represent the means ± SD of three independent experiments. ***P < 0.001 versus the control. (B) Confocal microscopic analysis of EL4 cells for the expression of c-Kit and Sca-1. Immunofluorescence images show the distribution features of lymphoma stem cells in the spheroids. Scale bar, 40 μm.
