Figure 8

Isolation of a mesenchymal progenitor cells from the BAL of a patient with asthma. A. Cells are negative for CD31, CD34 and CD45, and positive for Stro-1, CD73, CD105 and CD166. Mesenchymal cells from a patient with asthma (green) are compared with neonatal lung mesenchymal cells (red). IgG control is shown in black. B. Colonies of cells derived from the tracheal aspirates of human premature infants and a patient with asthma were isolated, grown and treated for differentiation along fat, bone or cartilage lines. Responses were compared with primary human lung fibroblasts. Shown are oil red o staining for fat droplets (left column of panels), alizarin red staining for calcium phosphate (middle column of panels) or alcian blue staining for acid mucopolysaccharide sulfates (nuclear fast red counterstain).
