The proliferation and self-renewal capacity of p75+ cells. (a) Immunostaining showed that cultured spheres of p75+ cells maintained the expression of p75, nestin, PDGFRα and LIFR, but showed only negligible expression of LHR and HSD3β. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue). Scale bar=25 μm. (b) Representative images showing the clonal cytosphere forming from a single cell. Scale bar=25 μm. (c) Growth characteristics of p75+ cells cultured in vitro. The primary cell number was 1 × 104. Data are expressed as the mean±S.D. (n=6)
