CD133 is a cell surface glycoprotein that is commonly used as a marker for stem and progenitor cells. It is expressed on the surface of various cell types, including hematopoietic stem cells, endothelial progenitor cells, and certain types of cancer stem cells. CD133 plays a role in cell adhesion and signaling processes, and its expression can be used to identify and isolate these cell populations for research and clinical applications.

The EPCs isolated from rats were identified using a methodology from a previous study17 (link),18 (link). Mononuclear cells were incubated with Dil-acetyl-low density lipoprotein (LDL, 10
μg/mL; Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) and fluorescein isothiocyanate-ulexeuropaeus

endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR)-2 (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), CD34, and CD133
(Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, California, USA), as described in a previous study17 (link),19 (link). Furthermore, in order to characterize the subtype of EPCs, cells with antibodies
against FITC-CD14 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) and PE-CD45 (Biolegend, San Diego, CA, USA)
were analyzed using a flow cytometer. CD14-/CD45- cells were
considered as advanced EPCs (endothelial colony-forming cells), while

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
