Fig. 1. Characterization of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) by confocal microscopy and flow cytometric analysis.

Fig. 1

a EPCs have a typical cobblestone-like morphology. b EPCs were stained with FITC-labeled or DiI-labeled UEA-1 and Ac-LDL and then detected using a confocal microscope. Scale bar, 20 μm. c Flow cytometric analysis of EPC surface markers (CD34, KDR, CD133, and CD14). The results presented are typical of those obtained from three separate experiments
