Assessment of Morphologic Characteristics and Immunophenotype of Mesenchimal Stem Cell Culture Obtained From Umbilical Cord Blood and Bone Marrow
Efficiency isolation was 30% for mesenchymal stem cells from umbilical cord blood and 100% for bone marrow, with cellular rate generation between 20 and 50 minutes and 16 and 39 minutes respectively. Morphologic differences were determined with microscopy and Wright coloration. During primary culture, 3.54% of CD34+/CD45+ was observed, but after 10 days, they were at 0.19% (CD34+/CD45+). Isolation of mesenchymal stem cells from bone marrow is efficient. There are differences between mesenchymal stem cells from umbilical cord blood and bone marrow. CD105 antigen is an important marker for mesenchymal cells lineage.
