Characterization of a Colony Assay Used to Investigate Endothelial Progenitor Cells

Subjects underwent endothelial testing and blood sampling at baseline and after 3 months of exercise training. Microarray and flow cytometry-based characterization of cells from an endothelial progeniator colony assay was consistent with T lymphocytes, but not endothelial cells. Keywords: expression analysis blood samples from 12 healthy subjects at baseline (A) and after 3 months (B) of exercise.
