Cell surface markers of cardiac telocytes (TCs) and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC).

<p>Cells collected are shown in A and D. Flow cytometry analysis show that cardiac TCs are homogenously positive for mesenchymal marker CD 29 (B) as BMSC (E), but negative for hematopoietic marker CD45 (C) as BMSC (F). Unlabeled cell (black) controls are included for comparison. FSC: forward scatter; SSC,side scatter.
