Representative flow cytometric analysis of peripheral blood, CD45 versus CD31 (A), CD31⁺CD34⁺CD45^dimCD133^dim CPC cells (B) and CD31^brightCD34⁻CD45⁻CD133⁻ CEC cells (C).

<p>The numbers represent percentage of cells within the gates. At least 10⁶ total cells were acquired followed by gating on size versus granularity followed by exclusion of dead cells and finally detection of markers described in plots.
