Fig 4. (A-D) CD marker analysis of cells derived from WJ, PV, SA, AM and MC. (A) (a-d) and (B) (a-b) The mean fluorescence intensities were
significantly greater in cells from WJ compared to PV, SA, AM and MC for CD29, CD44, CD73 and HLA-ABC and for CD24 and CD108 (*p<0.05). (C) The
percentages of positive cells (a,c) and mean fluorescence intensities (b,d) for CD146 and CD271 were significantly greater in cells from WJ and PV
compared to SA, AM and MC (*p<0.05). (D) SA, AM and MC showed significantly greater percentages of positive cells (a,b,c) and mean fluorescence
intensities (d,e,f) for the fibroblast markers CD40, CD49d and CD140b compared WJ and PV (*p<0.05).
