Surface marker expression of AD-MSCs sorted for CD271. AD-MSCs sorted for CD271 were analysed for expression of surface markers using flow cytometry immediately following sorting, and during several passages of cell culture. Expression of CD271 was consistently high in the CD271 purified population (CD271+), compared to the negative sort (CD271−) and the unsorted SVF (a, n = 14). During cell culture, CD271 expression rapidly decreased in both CD271+ and CD271− populations (b, n = 4). CD45 expression was significantly lower in CD271+ AD-MSCs (c, n = 8), and CD90 expression significantly higher (d, n = 8). The number of CD45−/CD90+ cells was also higher in CD271+ AD-MSCs (e, n = 8)
