The morphology and cell profile markers of human dermal papilla cells (hDPCs). A. The morphology and cell profile markers of hDPC. Aa. hDPC showed a typical spindle-like morphology of fibroblast cell. Ab. Alkaline phosphatase activity (red) showed in hDPC passage two into a conventional culture medium. Ac. Dermal papilla colony tested strongly positive for toluidine blue staining (red). Ad. Immunofluorescent Imaging data was presented as α-SMA expression after culture (green). Ae. Nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue) and Af. Pseudo colored merged image. Ag-Ai. Secondary antibody control in hDPC. As a negative control, staining was performed without primary antibody, showing non-specific staining by the secondary antibody (Alexa Fluor 488 goat anti-mouse, (control). Ak. Immunofluorescent Imaging data was presented as versican expression after culture (green). Al. Nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue) and Am. Pseudo colored merged image. An-Ap. Secondary antibody control in hDPC. As a negative control, staining was performed without primary antibody, showing non-specific staining by the secondary antibody (Alexa Fluor 488 goat anti-rabbit, (control). Flow data are presented as dot plot and histograms from the specific markers (blue) overlaid with control (red) from hDPC. The dot plot and histogram flow cytometry analysis illustrated that hDPC were positive for B. α-SMA and C. Versican (scale bars: 200 μm, n=3).
