Figure 2

Sub-populations of epithelial cells exhibit distinct lineage types in the developing bovine mammary gland. (a) Cells dissociated from pubertal bovine mammary tissue were co-stained with anti-CD49f -FITC (CD49f) and anti-CD24-APC (CD24) antibodies and analyzed by flow cytometry. The gating for each control immunoglobulin isotype is indicated by the solid lines. (b) Cells expressing low or high levels of CD49f and/or CD24 were subjected to flow cytometry analysis for either CD10 expression or ALDH1 activity. The mean percentages of cells (±SEM) expressing CD10 or showing ALDH1 activity in each sub-population from three independent experiments (3 cows) are summarized in a table. Abbreviations: ALDH1, Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1.
