Cultivation and characterization of rat BMSCs. a Morphology of bone marrow cell in passage 1 (a1, × 100) and passage 3 (a2, × 100). b Surface markers of BMSCs. The immunophenotype of rat BMSCs was analyzed by flow cytometry. Most cells expressed CD90, CD73, and CD44, but were CD45-negative and CD11b-negative. c Multipotency of BMSCs. Rat BMSCs could differentiate into osteogenic (c1, × 200), adipogenic (c2, × 200), and chondrogenic (c3, × 200) lineages when cultured in differentiation medium
