Figure 2
Immunophenotyping of mesenchymal cells isolated from BAL fluid of lung transplant recipients by flow cytometric analysis. Lung mesenchymal cells were isolated at passage 2 and immunostained for cell-surface markers with specific mAbs. These cells were predominantly positive for CD73, CD90, and CD105 (upper panels) and uniformly negative for the hematopoietic lineage markers CD14, CD34, and CD45 (bottom panels). All histograms show specific mAbs in purple and control isotype-specific IgGs in green. The percentage of positive cells relative to total cells analyzed (mean ± SD) is shown above each histogram.
