Characterization of human ADSC. (A) Representative flow cytometry histograms showing the expression of MSC-specific surface markers. It can be noticed that the cells were negative for the hematopoietic markers CD45, CD34, CD11b, CD79A, and HLA-DR, and positive for CD73, CD90, and CD105 (n = 3). (B) Analysis of the multipotent capacity of ADSC by their ability to generate osteocytes (left, von Kossa staining), adipocytes (middle, Oil Red O staining), and chondrocytes (right, Alcian blue staining) when incubated in specific conditions.
