Fig. 2From: Intravitreal administration of multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells triggers a cytoprotective microenvironment in the retina of diabetic miceCharacterization of adipose-derived MSCs isolated from adult C57BL/6 mice. a Isolated cells were cultured in α-MEM containing 10 % selected FBS into plastic dishes and differentiated into b adipogenic and c osteogenic lineages. Cells were also immunophenotyped according to the expression of the putative murine MSC markers alpha-SMA, SCA-1 and CD90 and the non-expression of the markers characteristic of hematopoietic cell lineages—CD45 and CD11b. d Open histograms represent cells stained with isotype controls; filled histograms represent cells labeled with specific antibodies. Data shown are representative of cells isolated from four different normal animalsBack to article page
