Characterization of endothelial progenitor cells. At 7 days of culture, immunohistochemical staining revealed that more than 90% of the cultured cells are positive to (a) CD133 and (b) vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2. Endothelial progenitor cells were incubated with 1,1-dioctadecyl-3,3,3,3-tetramethylindocarbocyanine-labeled acetylated low-density lipoprotein (Dil-Ac-LDL) and stained with Ulex europaeus agglutinin (UEA-1). Fluorescence microscopy illustrates that endothelial progenitor cells are positive for (c) Dil-Ac-LDL and (d) Dil-Ac-LDL and UEA-1. Magnification: ×100.
