Fig. 5. Comparative growth kinetics of cultures originated from different organs and tissues. Growth curves of representative MSC populations from each source (as presented in Table 1) are plotted. The threshold for 50 population doublings (50 Pds) is shown as a dashed line. Lowercase letters indicate the tissue or organ from which the culture was derived: a, aorta; b, brain; bm, bone marrow; k, kidney; l, liver; lu, lungs; m, muscle; p, pancreas; s, spleen; t, thymus; vc, vena cava. Numbers and capital letters refer to the animal used. Growth area is represented as a multiple of the area occupied by a confluent primary culture, arbitrarily set to 1.
