Figure 3From: Isolation and characterization of endothelial progenitor cells from Rhesus monkeys Effects of culture dish surface coating on EPCs in cultures. Unselected mononuclear cells were seeded in EGM-2 medium without serum supplementation on FN coated culture dishes. Morphology of EPCs was respectively observed on day 5 and day 8 after culturing. In the control group, cells were seeded on culture dishes without coating. Cells seeded on FN coated dishes had better adherence than cells seeded on dishes without coating 5 days after culturing, which remained observable until 8 days after culturing.
