  1. PLCSCs cultured in MM and KM were analyzed for cell-surface markers at P3. Subpopulations (A: CD34+CD105+, B: CD34-CD105+, C: CD34-CD105-) were analyzed after cell sorting and culture in MM up to P3. ✓ denotes that the cells have fulfilled the ISCT criteria, ✓ denotes that the cells did not conform to the ISCT criteria. Values of ≤0.5% are denoted by dash (-). Values are represented by mean standard deviation (in brackets). Flow cytometry was performed on three separate donor-cell populations.
