Fig 7. (A-C) Differentiation of cells from WJ, PV, SA, AM and MC into adipogenic, osteogenic and chondrogenic lineages. Cells from WJ, PV, SA, AM
and MC stained (A) Oil Red O positive for adipocytes, (B) Von Kossa positive for osteocytes and (C) Alcian blue positive for chondrocytes when exposed to
their respective differentiation media for each of the lineages. Adipocyte colonies stained with Oil Red O were similar in number with no differences in staining
intensity between WJ, PV, SA, AM and MC. However, Von Kossa and Alcian blue stained cells for osteocytes and chondrocytes were greater in numbers
and staining intensities in WJ compared to PV, SA, AM and MC.
