Human and feline ASCs possess typical MSC characteristics. Feline (a) and human (b) ASCs adhere to plastic and have a spindle, fibroblast morphology in culture. However, human ASCs are significantly larger than feline ASCs when adherent (c) and in suspension (d). Feline (e) and human (f) ASCs both have positive surface expression of CD44, CD90, and CD105, and are negative for surface expression of CD45 (pan leukocyte, human) or CD18 (pan leukocyte, feline) and MHC II. Both feline (g) and human (h) ASCs undergo osteogenic differentiation. Cell size presented as mean and standard error. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001
