Tube formation assay and transplantation using CD31⁺ CD157+ and CD31⁺ CD157 cell populations. a Tube formation assay using endothelial cells on day 11. Red indicates acetylated low density lipoprotein (Alexa Fluor™ 594-Ac-LDL) uptake by endothelial cells. b Tube formation assay using endothelial cells from days 14 and 24. Red indicates Alexa Fluor™ 594-Ac-LDL. scale bar = 500 μm. c Image J Angiogenesis Analyzer results of tube formation assay observed in b. d Quantification, by ImageJ Angiogenesis Analyzer, of nodes, branches, and total length of endothelial cells (**P < 0.01). e Percentage of human CD31+ cells in hind limbs after transplantation of CD31+/CD157+ endothelial cells isolated from a day 14 culture or CD31+/CD157. endothelial cells isolated from a day 24 culture. n = 3. (**P < 0.01)
