Figure Lengend Snippet: Culture and identification of hOPCs. The transplanted cells were identified based on their morphology and main markers. (A) Identification of the bright field morphology of hOPCs. Scale bar is 200 μm, inset 100 μm. (B) Flow cytometry to detect PDGFR-α, A2B5, NG2, and Ki67 of hOPCs. (C) Tissue immunofluorescence staining to detect PDGFR-α, A2B5, NG2, and Ki67 of transplanted hOPCs. Scale bar is 100 μm. A2B5, ST8 alpha-N-acetyl-neuraminide alpha-2,8-sialyltransferase 1; hOPCs, human–derived oligodendrocyte precursor cells; PDGFR-α, platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha; NG2, chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 4.
Article Snippet: HOPCs were surface stained with PDGFR-α BV421 mouse anti-human (Cat. #562799; BD Biosciences, Franklin Lake, NJ), A2B5 PE mouse anti-human (Cat. #130-093-581; Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch-Gladbach, Germany), NG2 APC mouse anti-human (Cat. #FAB2585A; R&D Systems, Minnesota), and Ki67 PE mouse anti-human (Cat. # ab270650; Abcam, Cambridge, UK) antibodies for flow cytometry (FACSanto II; BD Biosciences).
