Transcript expression of stromal-associated genes by cultured TSC remains stable in culture.

<p>PCR analysis of cultured TSC harvested at passage 2, 4, 6 and 8 (P2,P4, P6 and P8, respectively) and PBMCs for IL-7, CCL21, COL1A1, COL5A2, FN1 and DCN (n = 3 individual donors for the stromal cells, n = 4 for PBMCs). *: p < 0.05, **: p < 0.01, Kruskall-Wallis test with Dunn’s multiple comparisons test. Error plots represent mean ± SD.
