Additional file 1: Figure S1. of Differential ability of MSCs isolated from placenta and cord as feeders for supporting ex vivo expansion of umbilical cord blood derived CD34+ cells

BM-MSCs and P-MSCs had similar potential for expansion of CD34+ cells. a BM-MSCs have fibroblastic morphology, can be differentiated into osteoblasts, adipocytes and chondrocytes. b BM-MSCs were shown to exhibit expression of CD44, CD73, CD105, and CD90 and found not to express CD34, CD45, CD14, CD19, CD11b, and andHLA-DR. c BM-MSCs had robust expansion of total nucleated cells, CD34+CD38−, and CD133+ cells. d CD34+ cells expanded on BM-MSCs had superior clonogenic ability. Data are represented as mean ± standard deviation from four different samples. *p ≤ 0.05, **p ≤ 0.01, and ***p ≤ 0.001. (TIFF 5033 kb
