Characterization of late EPCs derived from bone marrow.

<p>A: MNCs were isolated and plated on fibronectin-coated culture dish on the first day (100×). B: Seven days after plating (100×). C: After 3–4 weeks, the third-fifth passage cells, namely late EPCs (100×). D-F: DiI-acLDL (red) and fluorescein isothiocyanate UEA-1(green) staining (100×). G: Flow cytometry analysis using several markers. H: Representative image of tubuli like structures formed on Matrigel by late EPCs (40×).
