Fig. 1From: Chemerin enhances the adhesion and migration of human endothelial progenitor cells and increases lipid accumulation in mice with atherosclerosisIdentification of EPCs. a Adherent cells grew in a blood island manner. Fluorescent staining of EPCs. b Adherent cells took up UEA-1-lectin. c Adherent cells took up Dil-Ac-LDL. d Adherent cells took up UEA-1-lectin and Dil-Ac-LDL. E. Surface molecular markers of EPCs. Adherent cells expressed CD34, CD133, CD14 and VEGFR-2. All experiments involving cell culture studies were repeated three times with three replicates per experimentBack to article page
