From: Phenotype and multipotency of rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) amniotic stem cells
Immunophenotyping of rabbit amniotic cells at passage 8 analysed by flow cytometry. Note the expression levels of cytoskeletal markers (vimentin, cytokeratin and β-tubulin) and mesenchymal cell markers (CD73, CD105 and Stro-1). CD117 (a marker of haematopoietic stem cell precursors) was highly expressed, while CD45 (a marker of haematopoietic cells) was not expressed. There were also significant levels of expression for the proliferation marker PCNA-3 and the pluripotency markers SSEA-4 and Sox-2, while other pluripotency markers (Nanog and TRA-1) were not expressed.
