Molecular analysis and comparison of CD34+ and CD133+ very small embryonic-like stem cells (VSELs) purified from umbilical cord blood (UCB) ? Brief Report.

The purpose of flow cytometry analysis was to enumerate CD133+ and CD34+ Very Small Embryonic-Like Stem Cells (VSELs) in human umbilical cord blood (hUCB) and to analyze the coexpression of both markers.
Conclusion:
13 samples were analyzed and average number of in-CD45-CD133+ and Lin-CD45-CD34+ VSELs in hUCB was calculated as well as coexpression of CD133 and CD34 markers.
Notes:
The reposited FCS files contain a representative dot plots used to enumerate Lin-CD45-CD133+ and Lin-CD45-CD34+ VSELs in hUCB. Data were aquired on The BD FACSVerse? instrument. The flow cytometer automatic compensation was performed.
