Muscle SP cells express Sca-1 and CD45 but do not express Myf5-nlacZ or MD6.0-lacZ. (A) FACS® fractionation of SP cells from bone marrow and muscle was used for the isolation of adult stem cells by Hoechst dye exclusion. Both muscle and bone marrow SP cells stained with Hoechst dye were sensitive to verapamil. (B) x- and y-axes indicate intensity of CD45-FITC and Sca-1-PE, respectively. The percentage of cells in each quadrant is indicated in the panel. (C) Unsorted (WP) or sorted cells prepared from Myf5-nlacZ or MD6.0-lacZ transgenic mouse muscle were stained with X-gal. The error bars represent the SEM from three independent experiments. At least a total of 1,000 cells were counted in each fraction.
