Figure 2. Cell proliferation assay of labeled CD34+ cells.
Cultured Fe[750]+CD34+ cells were labeled with the membrane dye PKH26. (A) Flow cytometry analysis gating on the emission of PKH26 shows the number of cell divisions at 72 h. (B-D) Individual histograms of cells having undergone zero (16.9%), one (56.3%), or two (25.8%) cell divisions were further analyzed by CD34 expression and Fe[750] signal, to demonstrate that uptake in the undivided population was at least as high as is in the fractions that had undergone division.
