Figure Lengend Snippet: Characterization of mBMSC and Their EVs. A Flow cytometry histograms showing expression of surface markers. Cells were negative for hematopoietic markers CD14, CD19, CD34, and CD45 (< 0.5%) and positive for mesenchymal markers CD29, CD44, CD73, and CD90 (> 98%). Gray shading represents isotype controls; red lines represent specific antibody staining. B Representative images of lineage-specific staining after differentiation induction: Alizarin Red (osteogenesis), Alcian Blue (chondrogenesis), and Oil Red O (adipogenesis). Scale bars, 100 μm. C Transmission electron microscopy images of EVs showing typical morphology and size. Scale bars represent 0.5 μm (left) and 200 nm (right). D Nanoparticle tracking analysis illustrating extracellular vesicle size distribution and concentration, with a peak around 100 nm. E Western blot detection of typical exosomal markers CD9, CD63, and CD81, confirming vesicle identity
Article Snippet: Exosomal protein markers CD9 (Proteintech, #20,597–1-AP, 1:2000), CD81 (Proteintech, #27,855–1-AP, 1:2000) and CD63 (Proteintech, #67,605–1-Ig, 1:5000) were detected by Western blotting.
