Fig. 5From: Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells differ in their attachment to fibronectin-derived peptides from term placenta-derived mesenchymal stromal cellsInteraction of peptides with human bmMSCs ex vivo. Mononuclear cells were purified from human bone marrow by Ficoll® gradient centrifugation, washed and incubated with peptides as indicated and counterstained with AF-647-labeled mAb to CD271, a marker for bmMSCs. Peptide P13 stained a small subset of CD271pos bone marrow cells ex vivo, whereas peptides P4, P14, and P15 stained only very few CD271pos cells. Peptides P7 failed to bind to CD271pos cells, but all peptides interacted with CD271neg bone marrow cells. FITC Fluorescein isothiocyanate, FSC Forward scatter, SSC Side scatterBack to article page
