Analysis of proliferation capacity, karyotype and immunophenotype of human umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUCB-MSCs).

(A) Mean values of cumulative population doublings. Population doublings were determined at each passage of the adherent hUCB-MSCs. Graph represents mean ± standard deviation of eight hUCB donors. (B) Representative Q-banded karyotype analysis of hUCB-MSCs in culture at passage 5 shows genetic stability of the populations (n = 3). (C) Immunophenotype of hUCB-MSCs at passage 3. Each histogram is a representative result of at least three UCB-MSC samples. Dotted lines show the IgG isotype control response and solid line curves are for the samples.
