• Figure 1

  Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) were stained with CD90 antibodies or with the corresponding isotype control antibodies (left peak) and analyzed by flow cytometry using the MACSQuant ® Analyzer. The Tandem Signal Enhancer has been used to increase binding specificity of tandem-dye–conjugated antibodies. Cell debris and dead cells were excluded from the analysis based on scatter signals and propidium iodide fluorescence or 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) fluorescence, as in the case of tandem conjugates.
