Lectin histochemistry showed a heterogeneous population of cells among human mesenchymal stem cells isolated from adipose tissue

ABSTRACT

Objectives: Adipose tissue as an appropriate source of Mesenchymal Stem Cells [MSCs] has the potential to differentiate into multiple lineages. Glycoconjugates content of the MSCs can be considered as biomarkers in self-renewal, pluripotency and differentiation processes. In this study, the lectin profile of MSCs isolated from adipose tissue was detected and according to that, a subpopulation was determined
