Figure Lengend Snippet: Characteristics of CD34 + VEGFR-3 + EPCs. (A) There are CD34 + VEGFR-3 + cells and CD133 + VEGFR-3 + cells in the mononuclear cells isolated from umbilical cord blood. The cells were analyzed with a flow cytometer. (B) In immunostaining, VEGFR-3 + cells express CD34 and CD133. (C) Features of CD34 + VEGFR-3 + EPCs. After treatment with 50 ng/ml VEGF-C, the cells proliferate, the shape of the cells changes. (D) Expression of LYVE-1 on the differentiated cells. At day 14 after induction with VEGF-C, the cells are positive for LYVE-1 immunostaining. Bars = 25 μm.
Article Snippet: The mononuclear cells were incubated with mouse anti-human CD34 antibody (1:100; Diagnostica, NJ, USA) and rabbit anti-human VEGFR-3 antibody (1:100; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, CA, USA), or mouse anti-human CD133 antibody (1:100; Diagnostica, NJ, USA) and rabbit anti-human VEGFR-3 antibody (1:100) at 4°C for 50 min. Nonspecific antigen of the cells was blocked with 5% bovine serum albumin (BSA; GE Healthcare, London, UK).
