CD133: Enhancement of Bone Healing by Local Transplantation of Peripheral Blood Cells in a Biologically Delayed Rat Osteotomy Model
Figure 1
In vitro analysis of angiogenic potential of progenitor cells.
(A) Tube length evaluation for CD34 (+)/(−) and CD133(+)/(−) cells normalized to the tube length measured in the control group together with all PBMCs, note the significant difference in tube length between CD133(+) and CD133(−), n = 8, * p = 0.018; (B) Tube formation of CD133(+) and CD133(−) respectively, note the more pronounced tube formation in the CD133(+) fraction.
