A. Representative images of EPCs at the 7th day (top panel) and 21st (bottom panel) day after separation from peripheral blood. B. EPCs were characterized according to the presence of endothelial-specific markers, such as CD31, CD133, eNOS, or VEGFR2, or the absence of mesenchymal-specific markers, such as CD45 and CD90. Scale bar: 50 μm. C. Representative images of EPC’s uptake of DiI-ac-LDL and binding of FITC-UEA-1. Scale bar: 50 μm. D. Representative images showing the capacity of EPCs to induce tube formation on Matrigel. (JPG 95 kb)
