Fig. 1

Surface marker expression patterns of cultured late (lEPCs) as opposed to early Endothelial Progenitor Cells (eEPCs). Panel A depicts combined staining of CD14 and VE-Cadherin, B shows staining of both cell types for CD45 and VE-Cadherin. Early EPCs expressed both hematopoietic markers (CD14 and CD45) whereas VE-Cadherin was not detectable at all. Late EPCs in contrast were strongly VE-Cadhein positive but negative for the other proteins, respectively (magnifications × 20 except the images behind the arrows: ×80; red in panel a: CD14, in panel b: CD45; green in both panels: VE-Cadherin; blue in both panels: DAPI – nuclei; the white rectangles in panel b show magnified areas behind the arrows)
