From: Skeletal muscle-derived interstitial progenitor cells (PICs) display stem cell properties, being clonogenic, self-renewing, and multi-potent in vitro and in vivo

Fig. 2

PICs retain their phenotype after three culture passages. a Representative confocal micrograph showing CD45–/Sca-1+ PICs at P3 are negative for CD45 and Pax-7 and positive for Sca-1 and PW1. Scale bar = 50 μm. b Flow cytometric analysis of CD45–/Sca-1+ PICs at P3 for the cell surface markers Sca-1, CD45, CD34, PDGFRα, CD31, c-kit, PDGFRβ, CD146, NG2, and CXCR4 and the nuclear markers Pax7 and PW1. Grey histogram represents the isotype control and the green histogram represents protein of interest in all histograms
