Figure 1From: Circulating mouse Flk1+/c-Kit+/CD45- cells function as endothelial progenitors cells (EPCs) and stimulate the growth of human tumor xenograftsFlow cytometry on normal nude mouse tissues after gating for viable, single cells and the sequential isolation of Flk-1+/c-Kit+/CD45- cells. Representative images for cell isolation: (A) Unstained cells (B) Isotype controls (C) Isolated Aorta (D) Isolated Lung (E) Quantification of %EPCs found by flow cytometry of mouse aorta and lung tissues (n=3) (F) Quantification of %EPCs found by flow cytometry in selected mouse tissues (n=3-4) *Note: adipose tissue was collected from 3 different mice to generate a single sample (50,000 cells) and 3 separate samples were analyzed.Back to article page
