EPO is expressed by multiple cell types as determined by TaqMan qRTPCR comparative analysis of the indicated human cell and tissue sources. Human primary renal cells were used as calibrator and have a designated RQ value of 1.0. Samples are as follows: H₂O as a negative control (1); human primary renal cells (2); whole fetal liver (3); CD34+ enriched fetal liver cells (4); hepatocytes (5); keratinocytes at passage 4 (6); human dermal microvascular endothelial cells (7); human epidermal keratinocytes (8); peripheral blood derived mononuclear cells, CD34+, GCSF mobilized (9); peripheral blood derived mononuclear cells, CD34+, normal (10); adipose (lipoaspirate) stromal cells at passage 0 (11); passage 1 (12); passage 2 (13); passage 4 (14); adipose (subcutaneous) stromal cells at passage 0 (15); passage 1 (16); passage 2 (17); passage 3 (18); and passage 4 (19).
