The culture and characterization of cardiosphere-derived cells. a Cells grew from the explant on top of a layer of stromal-like cells after 7 days. Cardiospheres formed after 4 days in suspension culture on poly-d-lysine-coated dishes. Cardiosphere-derived cells become confluent after 5 to 7 days. Scale bar = 100 μm. b Flow cytometric analysis showed that cardiosphere-derived cells were positive for CD29, CD105, and CD90, and negative for CD31, CD45, and CD34. GFP green fluorescent protein
