We present a method of labeling of mesenchymal stem cells from human amnion with a fluorescent dye Dil and microspheres (Bangs
Laboratories). The possibility of administration of loaded cell culture was verified and comparative analysis of the phenotype
of mesenchymal stem cells by the expression of fibronectin, nestin, CD13, CD29, CD34, CD44, CD54, CD90, CD105, CD106, HLA-ABC,
HLA-DR, and PCNA was carried out. The labeled cells retained osteogenic differentiation capacity. The results suggest that
fluorescent dye Dil and microspheres from Bangs Laboratories can be used for monitoring of mesenchymal stem cells from human
amnion in
in vivo experiments.
Key Words mesenchymal stem cells - placenta - microparticles - phenotype - differentiation
